PS
Jeffers's emotive, idealized, slightly nostalgic art takes center stage in this mood piece about a girl who longs for a pony ("I want a pony more than anything else in the world") and whose drawing and imagination allow her to ride her dream pony, Silver. The wish sequences, featuring horses galloping across the land and sky, are overdone, but readers who want the impossible will find a soul mate in the narrator.
