When Birdie is sent to live with her great-aunt in 1950s Yorkshire, she befriends the village’s last remaining pit pony. A story of hope and courage, exploring themes of family, racism and identity.
‘Captivating’ A.F. Steadman‘
A tender and touching story for animal lovers everywhere’ Hannah Gold
Birdie Bagshaw has never known her parents. Having grown up in a children’s home for mixed race children in 1950s Leeds, now she has come to live with her great-aunt in the Yorkshire Dales.
From her arrival, Birdie is treated like an outsider by the local children. When their bullying drives Birdie to hide in the nearby coal mine, she finds an unexpected rescuer in the form of Mr Duke, the last remaining pit pony in the village. As the weeks pass, Birdie forms a special bond with the spirited little pony.
But his future is in danger, and Birdie comes up with a daring plan to save his life in return.
