(4) 4-6 After Nathaniel's father leaves the family, Nat and his sisters answer an ad for a free pony. Taking care of the pony helps the siblings cope with being different from their peers. The author's atmospheric, lyrical style and 1970s Canadian setting border on sentimentality. However, the main characters--especially Nathaniel and his younger sister Queenie--are complex and memorable.
