Book Description
Being able to talk to ponies isn't all that it's cracked up to be! Sure Pia can understand her pony, Drummer, and any other pony around her for that matter. But it doesn't make life any easier when the ponies go on strike right before a national pony competition. When her rival Cat's routine looks perfect, Pia knows that she must find a way to get her team back on the ponies' good sides. Otherwise, Cat's team will take home the prize for sure. Talking to ponies is incredible...if only they didn't have so much to say! "This combination of magic and a quick-moving, contemporary plot is a light and enjoyable read. The horses are particularly amusing as they reveal their complaints and requests to their owners through Pia."—School Library Journal review for Pony Whisperer: The Word on the Yard
