The Silver Pony is an uplifting story about friendship, fitting in and feeling alone.
When Lily's best friend Mara is in hospital, Lily struggles to fit in at school and at home. She feels lost without Mara, and doesn't know how to connect when she does have contact with her, on the phone or through email. When Lily finds a silver pony whose floppy fringe and dark eyes remind her of her friend, she finds a way to bridge the gap between them, and makes some new friends along the way.
Lily struggles at school without her best friend, and she's not very good at sticking up for herself. But meeting Em, the silver pony, helps her to gain a confidence she didn't have, and her voice is never too quiet when she is defending her.
The Silver Pony is a really lovely book, perfect for fan of Webb's other animal stories. The wild ponies of the New Forest are almost magical, and the book includes lots of important rules for if you ever come face to face with one, to keep both you and the ponies safe.
Thank you Little Tiger for sending me a copy of The Silver Pony for review
