Julie saves her money to buy a pony at auction on Chincoteague Island's Pony Penning Day. With the help of generous strangers, she achieves her dream. The affecting tale is gently expressed by the softly limned, pastel-colored illustrations, which show the origins of the Chincoteague ponies, the road to the auction, and an almost magical glow once girl and pony are united.
