Hairless guinea pig Millhouse, an aspiring thespian, is trapped in a wretched pet store. Not only is Milly mocked by the other guinea pigs, he's also tormented by an evil ferret. With only a rat for a friend, Milly must figure out how to feed his creative soul and find a home. Humor, drama, and adventure fuel the plot.

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.
