Waterstones Says

The author of the modern classic Wonder delivers another intensely powerful and compassionate novel, centred on a boy's quest to find his abducted father aided only by his ghostly companion and a mysterious pony.

The highly anticipated, unforgettable new story from the internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning author of Wonder.

When Silas Bird wakes in the dead of night, he watches powerlessly as three strangers take his father away. Silas is left shaken, scared and alone, except for the presence of his companion, Mittenwool . . . who happens to be a ghost. But then a mysterious pony shows up at his door, and Silas knows what he has to do. So begins a perilous journey to find his father - a journey that will connect him with his past, his future, and the unknowable world around him.

Pony is destined to become a future classic.

“A thrilling wild west quest”

I absolutely loved this gripping new novel by R. J. Palacio. (It’s not at all like ‘Wonder’- in case you asked. I think it’s more complex and I would recommend it to a slightly older age group.)
