(4) 4-6 In 1839 Connecticut, teen Daniel Linnehan (A Difficult Boy) joins peddler Mr. Stocking and his ward Billy to re-train and care for neglected and abused traveling-circus ponies. Daniel's annoyance with Billy--a girl in disguise--gradually lessens, but when Billy's abusive father returns, they're all in danger. Elements of exaggerated melodrama strain credulity, but apt horse-training sequences will entrance horse lovers.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
