INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Lawrence, Iain

The Winter Pony

(2) 4-6 The newly named James Pigg, a small gray pony selected for use in Captain Robert Scott's 1911 polar expedition, narrates this gripping survival story. The book is thoroughly researched and tautly written but filled with horse death after horse death. Hardened adventure junkies will celebrate the human spirit that even made such an attempt; most everyone else will reflect soberly on the cost.
