The Christmas Pony
By: Melody Carlson
Published by Revell
ISBN 978-0800719272

Back Cover:

With Christmas around the corner, the Turnbull family is in need of a few small miracles.

It is 1937, and Lucy Turnbull knows better than to wish for a pony this Christmas. Her mother has assured her in no uncertain terms that asking for a pony is the same as asking for the moon. Besides, the only extra mouths they need at their boarding house are the paying kind. Then an interesting pair of strangers comes to town, and Lucy’s world changes forever.

Review:

Christmas is a time of celebrations and traditions, and in her latest book, Melody Carlson manages to capture both. The Christmas Pony is a satisfying blend of hope and faith, heartache and healing. Add to this the wonder of a child’s Christmas, and the reader is left with the perfect story for a snowy afternoon.

Kudos to Carlson for this sweet book! I highly recommend it.
