Thirteen-year-old Jessie Wheller always seems to find adventure on the Newfoundland cliffs where she lives. When she stumbles upon several fenced-in Newfoundland ponies in the middle of the woods, she senses that something is amiss and soon uncovers a plot to sell the ponies to a cannery. Determined to save the animals, Jessie enlists the help of her friends and family in a plan that relies on a whole lot of guts and a little bit of luck. This is the story of a girl who knows her own heart and will do everything possible to stay true to it.
Award-winning author Harlow ("Blown Away") returns to the shores of Newfoundland in 1965 in this exciting story of a girl and love for a herd of wild ponies.
