When Silas Bird wakes in the dead of night, he watches powerlessly as three strangers take his father away.

But then a mysterious pony shows up at his door, and Silas knows what he has to do. So begins a perilous journey to find his father - a journey that will connect him with his past, his future, and the unknowable world around him.
PONY is destined to become a future classic.
