Iain Lawrence's New York Times bestsellers are often singled out for recognition from numerous publications and organizations, including the ALA, School Library Journal, and Booklist. In The Winter Pony, Lawrence pens the mesmerizing tale of a young white Siberian pony who escapes a group of cruel masters only to enter the company of Englishman Robert Falcon Scott. Joining Scott's men and their race to the South Pole, the pony is soon given a name, James Pigg, as he and the rest embark on a thrilling race to reach the bottom of the world-a race in which not everyone will survive.

      Gr 5-8-With his usual spirit of high adventure combined with all the pathos and tragedy of "Black Beauty", Iain Lawrence spins an engrossing tale (Delacorte, 2011) that captures listeners' attention and imagination. The tale is related through the eyes of James Pigg, one of the 20 white Manchurian ponies from Siberia that accompanied Robert Scott on his fatal journey to reach the South Pole. Hauntingly narrated by Eduardo Bellerini, listeners experience the brutal, frigid, and mind-numbing expedition as well as the complicated interactions among ponies, humans, and dogs. Not for the faint of heart or overly sensitive, the story embodies determination, devotion, and fortitude. This book will soon sit on the shelf of animal classics along with Fred Gipson's "Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls, and Marjorie Rawlings's "The Yearling".-"Laurie Balderson, Hamilton-Holmes Middle School, VA"
