Penelope ★★★★★

The way Esme Higgs brings the horses to life on the page is just magical—my niece felt like she was right there in the stable with the characters. She's already asking for the next book in the series.

William ★★★★★

My daughter finished this in one rainy afternoon and immediately asked if there are more books coming. The way Esme writes about the bond between the girl and her pony feels so real, like she actually knows what she's talking about. Perfect for kids who dream of horses.

Harper ★★★★★

My niece couldn’t put it down, she loved how the main character talks through her pony’s personality. It’s such a warm, engaging read for horse lovers that feels just like Jacqueline Wilson’s style.
