(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Yonder has not spoken since her mother's death four years earlier, her father has sunk into drunken depression, and she's bullied at school. The companionship and comfort Yonder finds with a neglected Shetland pony named Dirt help her through. This sympathetic character's story of loss and healing, while not very subtle, should resonate with kids who share Yonder's affinity for animals.
