A review by kathyholt
Pony by R.J. Palacio

4.0

A historical setting, but filled with mystery and a bit of fantasy, this is a tough one to put in a box. Silas is a quirky, endearing character. Palacio masterfully weaves elements throughout the story revealing clues about Silas' father, the wonderment of Mittenwool (Silas' companion), and peculiarity of Silas himself that keep the reader turning pages. At its core, the story is about love and connections that tie people to one another. A beautiful story. 4.5
