Disturbing
I know a lot of children read this story, but it gave me nightmares. A pony is sick and they have to cut a hole in the neck so the pony can breath. The passage where the boy has to keep the hole clean just creeped me out. I still get creeped out just thinking about it. Dispite the creepy sick pony section the book is neatly written. Its a coming of age and buddy book rolled into one.
