A beautiful and heart-wrenching middle grade debut, this title is a memorable story, full of love, healing, friendship, and hope. When eleven-year-old Addie goes to stay with a foster family on a remote Exmoor farm in the midst of a very cold winter, she is full of hurt, anger and a deep mistrust of everyone around her. But when she rescues a tiny wild foal from the moorland snow, Addie discovers that perhaps she's not so alone after all. And as adventure and unexpected friendship blossom, Addie is determined that both of them will know what it is to be home again soon... Author Susanne Bailey delivers a warm, evocative debut set in the natural world that's sure to inspire readers who are eager for an adventure story about the healing bond between humans and their animal friends.Product Details

Reviews
"Bailey's beautifully told story treads heavy subjects with care, and Addie brims with complicated emotions and an ever-expanding heart. . . . An eloquent examination of family in all forms."--Booklist "Emphasizing parallels between Addie's longing for home and the wild pony's displacement, Bailey's third-person narration follows a fiercely resolute heroine on a gradual arc of hard-won acceptance around the challenges of her mother's recovery."--Publishers Weekly "Realistic and poignant."--Kirkus Reviews
