Lester, Alison Snow Pony
Allen & Unwin, 2006
The Snow Pony is a beautiful story about a girl and the Brumby her father catches for her. She is the only one who can ride her and in drought stricken Australia the money she and the pony win in competiions rapidly become the families sole income. This is a gritty, earthy incredibly moving tale of struggle, violence, fear and loyalty, paced for maximum character development, the Snow Pony is definately for the older readers of this book list as some of the themes may upset younger readers.
