Pony by R.J. Palacio


Twelve-year-old Silas Bird’s life takes an unexpected turn one night in 1860 when a band of men take his father away. This puts Silas on an epic journey to find his father with the help of a found pony and a grumpy U.S. marshal whom he meets along the way. Silas has a gift where he can see and speak with people who have died, which leads to unimaginable connections. This is a true page turner for middle schooler readers and up.
