A review by suzylibrarian
Pony by R.J. Palacio

4.0

This is definitely a five star book if I could figure out how I would get kids to read it. The author’s popularity will help, the ghost element will help, but it is definitely a slow and strange ride. I’m hoping this will really work for a lot of students who are looking for something very very different.

Grades 5 and up. There’s gun violence from the Wild West as well as gruesome descriptions of ghosts in their human form.
