Description

Stevie has a lot of dreams... more friends at school, better drawing pencils, and a pony. If only she had her dream horse, her life would be better and the other horse-mad girls would talk to her.

When her brother is taken to hospital, Stevie's dreams seem further away than ever. Suddenly, her after-school world is filled with hospital visits, and there's even less money for anything, especially a pony.

With Stevie's mum spending more time with her brother, Stevie has to learn to figure out the hard things in life by herself.

A funny, moving, and heartfelt story from CBCA-shortlisted author Penny Tangey.
