About this listen
Instant New York Times Best Seller • Named One Of The Best Children’s Books Of The Year By The Wall Street Journal
“Perfection.” (The Wall Street Journal)
The best-selling 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.” (Jorge Lacera, NPR)

Story
Zada is a camel with a treasure trove of stories to tell. She’s won camel races for the royal Pasha of Smyrna, crossed treacherous oceans to new land, led army missions with her best camel friend by her side, and outsmarted a far too pompous mountain lion. But those stories were from before. Now, Zada wanders the desert as the last camel in Texas. She’s not, however, alone. Two tiny kestrel chicks are nestled in the fluff of fur between her ears - kee-killy-keeing for their missing parents - and a dust storm the size of a mountain is taking Zada on one more grand adventure.

Story
Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever.

Story
Hugo is not happy about being dragged halfway across the state of Colorado just because his dad had a midlife crisis and decided to become a ski instructor. It’d be different if Hugo weren’t so tiny and guys didn’t call him “leprechaun” and rub his head for luck. But here he is, the tiny new kid on his first day of middle school. When his fellow students discover his remarkable talent for garbology, the science of studying trash to tell you anything about a person, Hugo becomes the cool kid for the first time in his life. But what happens when it all goes to his head?

But he's still just a regular kid—he loves cats and any kind of cake, and is curious about the secrets the adults in the US colony are keeping. Like, why don't they have contact with anyone on the other Mars colonies? Why are they so isolated? When a virus breaks out and the grown-ups all fall ill, Bell and the other children are the only ones who can help. It's up to Bell—a regular kid in a very different world—to uncover the truth and save his family...and possibly unite an entire planet.

Ever since Ellie wore a whale swimsuit and made a big splash at her fifth-birthday party, she's been bullied about her weight. To cope, she tries to live by the Fat Girl Rules - like "no making waves", "avoid eating in public", and "don't move so fast that your body jiggles". And she's found her safe space - her swimming pool - where she feels weightless in a fat-obsessed world. In the water, she can stretch herself out like a starfish and take up all the room she wants. It's also where she can get away from her mom, who thinks criticizing Ellie's weight will motivate her to diet.

Critic reviews
"R.J. Palacio, author of a modern classic children’s book of our era, has somehow crafted what feels like an entirely different breed of classic: page-turning and heart expanding, elegiac and adventurous, reminiscent of Jack London, with mediations on love and faith that feel timeless and utterly necessary to our current moment." —Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay and Frankie & Bug
“A magical story—Pony is pure delight.” —Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal–winning author of When You Reach Me
“A mystery, a frontier adventure, a ghost story: Pony tells the tale of a child ‘with fire in his mind,’ and it will light a fire in yours. R. J. Palacio’s most ambitious book yet, it is as compelling as it is satisfying.” —Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor–winning author of The Inquisitor’s Tale

The sheriff bears the mark of the noose around his neck; some say he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His half-human deputy is kin to coyotes. The mayor guards a hoard of mythical treasures. A banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins. And a shady saloon owner, whose fingers are in everyone's business, may know more about the town's true origins than he's letting on.

Among the survivors are 18-year-old Nico and her dog, on a voyage devised by Nico's father to find a mythical portal; a young artist named Kit, raised in an old abandoned cinema; and the enigmatic Deliverer, who lives life after life in an attempt to put the world back together.

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.

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.

SO Good!
At the very beginning, I wasn't sure how I felt about the book, but I quickly became engrossed. It is so different than anything else I have read and I love its unique story line. Most of all, I loved the different characters and the themes of Love, humanity, knowledge, and kindness. I'm already planning on how I could incorporate this in my high school class. Definitely a must read.

Brought to life by outstanding narrator
The story was a delightful exploration of a boy's journey into the harsh realities of life through overcoming a series of heartbreaking challenges. His ability to speak to ghosts while weilding an unwavering belief in his parents, shapes his young adult experience. The narrator did an outstanding job bringing the characters to life. I would not have been as engaged or appreciated the story without his presentation.

Wonderful story
R.J. Palacio’s Pony is an ageless story that is part western, part ghost story, and mostly a story about the bond between family that can stretch beyond worlds. We loves this book. It has everything we tend to love in a family read-aloud: suspense, acts of courage and love, and it doesn’t shy away from the gritty and grim parts of life. It marches through those moments with honesty and grace, giving us much to discuss and ponder together.

A Beautiful Story
This is my favorite book of 2022. The writing is absolutely beautiful. The narration welcomed me into the story slowly at first. But a couple of chapters in, I got lost in this amazing story and basically read 3/4 of the story in one sitting.
The synopsis tells you everything you need to know about the plot. At the end of the book, the author gives you a peak into the creative process she used to write this gem. Do yourself a favor and read every word she writes, or speaks, for those of us who listened to the audiobook. Her process enhances almost every detail of the story. I won’t say more because I want you to make these discoveries on your own.
Now, I’m going back to page one to re-read this story. I am sure the author’s comments will enhance every detail in this book. I hope you love this story as much as I did.

So extremely outstanding!
I have read nothing better than this. The details in the story and setting, the details of thought, and the process of actions are unmatched. It is easy to understand, and so very compassionate. Totally into the characters and story from the first minute. Instant. The performance of the narrator was impeccable. I cannot find anything but the highest praise for this masterpiece.
