Review of "Pony Confidential" by Christina Lynch

Whimsical, humorous, unique story about a pony on a quest to re-unite with his human and save her from being convicted of a crime she didn't commit. The pony is a reluctant and hilarious hero, and the characters he encounters and the labors he undertakes are amusing. The human stories of helplessness and isolation parallel those of the animals, and are delivered with sarcasm and wit. It takes a while to get going, tends to drags on in places, and certainly has a few head-scratching moments, but well-written and fun.
