5.0 out of 5 stars A pony book - but in lockdown!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2021
Verified Purchase
Charming story for young readers 8 and up, especially pony lovers, set at the start of lockdown for Covid-19 in Ireland. This provides a great insight into what life was like for other people, and in other neighbourhoods. My great-nieces would be envious of the chance to bike out every day to look after a pony!

But in essence it’s a pony book, and what’s not to like about a pony book told with all Clare O’Beara’s wonderful insight and experience.
