Stevie has a lot of dreams: she dreams about having more friends at school, about owning better drawing pencils, and, most of all, about having a pony. If only she had her dream horse, Stevie is sure that her life would be better and that the other horse-crazy girls would talk to her. When her brother is taken to the hospital, though, Stevie's dreams seem farther away than ever. Suddenly her afterschool world is filled with hospital visits, and there's even less money for anything, especially a pony. As her mother spends more time with her brother, Stevie will have to learn to figure out life's challenges by herself. This moving, funny, and heartfelt coming-of-age story deals with universal themes of loss, grief, and self-reliance.
