“Perfection.” –The Wall Street Journal

The bestselling author of Wonder returns with an enthralling adventure about a boy on a quest to rescue his father, with only a ghost as his companion and a mysterious pony as his guide.

Twelve-year-old Silas is awoken in the dead of night by three menacing horsemen who 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. When a pony shows up at his door, Silas makes the courageous decision to leave his home and embark on a perilous journey to find his father. Along the way, he will face his fears to unlock the secrets of his past and explore the unfathomable mysteries of the world around him.

R. J. Palacio spins a harrowing yet distinctly beautiful coming-of-age story about the power of love and the ties that bind us across distance and time. With the poignant depth of War Horse and the singular voice of True Grit, this is one of those rare books poised to become an instant classic for readers of all ages.

“A wonderful story of courage. ... It's got the feeling of a modern classic.” —as recommended on NPR by Jorge Lacera

Captivating!

Absolutely magnetic! I couldn't stop listening. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. I'll definitely be listening to this one again.

I wished this book will never end

One day I walked to a book store with my daughter. I wanted her to choose a book that interests her. I noticed Pony and as we are both horse people, it got our both attention. It's so far one of the few books she have readed so that she's reading it for hours. I felt I should read or listen it too. Found it from Audible and oh - I loved to listen it. It is so well written and the whole story is just so real. Amazing how a writer can compose sutch a story. Beautiful. I loved to listen it.

Ignore the bad audio reviews

Ignore the bad reviews the audio book received. The book reviews are more accurate. I almost didn’t buy this. Based on the audio reviews.

Amazing story, well read

Such a good book! Listened with my 9 year old son and we both loved it.

Beautiful book

I’m an adult who listens to young adult fiction on occasion, to get a break from the trash that is written for adults these days. I also have young nieces who may read this book someday. What a beautiful story! This book is full of teaching moments for parents, and I hope many parents will talk to their children if they have questions or concerns. It is just a lovely story.
