Keeker and the Sneaky Pony -- Meet Catherine Corey Keegan Dana (everyone calls her Keeker). What she wants most of all is a pony.

Meet Plum. Plum is a Shetland pony (who's known to be a teeny bit sneaky). She rarely, if ever, thinks about little girls. She certainly doesn't want one.

When Plum moves to Keeker's farm, Keeker faces the challenge of winning a pony's trust and friendship. And when Plum and Keeker find themselves lost in the woods, they learn that working together is the best way to get out of a fix. This fast-paced story of adventure and friendship will have new readers galloping back for more.


Hadley Higginson grew up on a farm in Vermont where she had a sneaky pony of her own. She lives in Georgia where she works as a writer for an advertising firm. Although she currently has no pony, she does have a bossy little dog. This is her first book.

Maja Andersen lives in Missouri where she illustrates greeting cards.

Quotes

"The ample full-page and spot illustrations plus short sentences tailor this early chapter book to reluctant readers—particularly those with a soft spot for horses." -Publishers Weekly

Although she's only in Kindergarten, my adorable little flower girl is a heck of a reader. I gave her the full set of Keeker books as a thank you gift, thinking that her parents could read them to her, and next thing I hear this little brainiac has started plowing through them all by herself. Her mom reports that she's completely in love with the characters, and SO pleased with herself for reading grown-up chapter books. Thanks!
