The best-selling author of Wonder returns with an enthralling adventure about a boy on a quest to rescue his father, with only a ghost as his companion and a mysterious pony as his guide.

Twelve-year-old Silas is awoken in the dead of night by three menacing horsemen who take his father away. Silas is left shaken, scared, and alone, except for the presence of his companion, Mittenwool...who happens to be a ghost. When a pony shows up at his door, Silas makes the courageous decision to leave his home and embark on a perilous journey to find his father. Along the way, he will face his fears to unlock the secrets of his past and explore the unfathomable mysteries of the world around him.

R. J. Palacio spins a harrowing yet distinctly beautiful coming-of-age story about the power of love and the ties that bind us across distance and time. With the poignant depth of War Horse and the singular voice of True Grit, this is one of those rare books poised to become an instant classic for readers of all ages.

“A wonderful story of courage.... It's got the feeling of a modern classic.” (Jorge Lacera, NPR)

This great book was given to me for Christmas, and I loved it. Honestly, I couldn’t put it down. I needed to find out what would happen to Silas on his wild ride to find his father. I was rooting for him and his mysterious Arabian pony every step of the way. Likely more suitable for a 12-15 year old reader but I highly recommend for any aged readers who love wonderful stories.

Original and Exciting!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 7, 2021

I got this as an audiobook for my family to listen to on a recent road trip. We enjoyed it immensely. The narration by Ian M. Hawkins was excellent.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Wonder, I was excited to see another book by R.J. Palacio. You should know that this book isn't anything like Wonder at all. However, don't let that stop you from picking it up (or having a listen). This is a marvelous book in its own right.

Set in the mid to late 1800s in Wild West America, this book is written in that old-time vernacular (which my kids found delightful) and follows 12 year old Silas (whose best friend is a ghost named Mittenwool) who sets out to rescue his father (with the help of a mysteriously intuitive horse, a US Marshall and a small town Sheriff and Deputy) when Pa is taken by local ruffians who believe he is a famous former counterfeiter.

Very well researched and highly entertaining, this book is full of memorable characters and interesting topics, such as early photographic processing techniques (who knew that could be so interesting?), classic literature, and themes of bravery, acceptance and kindness.

My kids are 8 & 12 and both highly recommend this audiobook.

A gripping, moving novel.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 29, 2021

This is supposed to be for young people but my partner and I who are both middle aged loved this book. There is nothing in here to upset younger people but there is also much to keep an older reader entranced. I will try not to use too many cliches but, this is a really page turner. Really looking forward to reading more by the same author.

I think this is more a children’s book than an adult one .I loved Wonder and bought this book on the basis of this
I was disappointed the story is very simple and there are fewer twists and turns than I need to find a novel fully satisfactory .It did keep me entertained for a few hours neutral lacked the substance and depth that I expected

I literally read this is one sitting. It is beautiful and incredibly moving. A story of adventure, loss, grief and indeed hit as well as the powerful connections between people. Read it, you won't regret it.
