Wild Pony tells the poignant story of Scott, a farm boy who needs a pony for school, and Josie, a girl with polio who yearns to ride again. When Scott's pony goes missing and reappears as Josie's, a dispute over ownership divides their small Australian town. This chapter book, suitable for ages 4-11, explores themes of social class, disability, justice, and the power of empathy. It offers a gentle narrative about two children overcoming their differences to find common ground and friendship through their shared love for an animal.
