From CBCA shortlisted author, Penny Tangey, comes a moving, funny and heartfelt coming - of - age story. Stevie has a lot of dreams ... more friends at school, better drawing pencils and a pony. If only she had her dream horse, her life would be better and the other horse - mad girls would talk to her. When her brother is taken to hospital, Stevie's dreams seem further away than ever. Suddenly her after - school world is filled with hospital visits and there's even less money for anything, especially a pony. With Stevie's mum spending more time with her brother, Stevie has to learn to figure out the hard things in life by herself.
