Pony by R.J. Palacio

3.0

Sylas Bird sees ghosts. This is not a trait to brag about, he's learned...but when he father is taken by outlaws, it just might come in handy. When one of the men's horses, who he dubs Pony, returns, Sylas takes it as a sign and sets off into the wilderness. From the author of Wonder, which I loved, this book set in the west in the 1800's is not my usual genre, and I didn't expect to like it. But something about the unique voice and wandering prose captured my heart, and I found myself rooting for Sylas as he found his courage, uncovered difficult truths about his father, and went on a wild adventure.
