Silas on endast väljas, ehmunud ja tema juures pole kedagi peale ta sõbra Mittenwooli ..., kes on juhtumisi kummitus. Kui siis üks poni ootamatult tema ukse taha tuleb, on Silasel selge, mida teha.

Kui avad R. J. Palacio uue romaani "Poni", ei ole sa enam iseenda peremees. Alates esimestest lehekülgedest olin harukordse Silase lummuses, poisi, kes on ühtaegu nii nutikas kui ka vapper, kes räägib elavate ja surnutega ning kelle õlul lasub mineviku koorem, kui Poni kannab teda isa päästma. Ma loobusin söögist, joogist ja arvete maksmisest. Miski ei tundunud tähtsam kui saada teada, mis juhtub Silasega selles äärmiselt haaravas, kaunilt kirjutatud raamatus."Margot Livesey, kirjanikR. J.
