The Sea Pony

(3) 1-3 Piper Green and the Fairy Tree series. Illustrated by Qin Leng. In her third multi-stranded adventure set on a small Maine island, seven-year-old Piper Green sets out to earn enough money to buy a horse, befriends a seal (whom she terms a "sea pony"), and finds her lobsterman father's lost skiff. Brief chapters, a wealth of expressive line-and-wash illustrations, and Piper's irrepressible nature will hold the interest of newly independent readers.
