Max is a young boy living in an ordinary tower block. He longs for adventure in his life - then one day - DOOF! - a flying pony called Kevin crashes into his flat, blown in by a magical storm! The storm causes a huge flood and soon Max's town submerged by water. Luckily for the town, Max has a flying pony to come to the rescue, and luckily for Kevin, he has a new best friend and a constant supply of his favourite thing - biscuits. Together Max and Kevin will embark on many wild adventures together . . . This is the start of a hilarious new series brought to you by the creative and inspiring duo Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre and is packed with amazing two-colour illustrations.

I really love the part where Kevin is swept away by the storm and lands his rounded bottom on the side of Max's flat. I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventures and also books by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre.

This book is about a flying pony called Kevin and a boy called Max. I like the pony Kevin because he could fly. Also is a good minded person and he rescued everyone from a flood in the town. I would recommend this to my friends who love fiction books

This is a funny and exciting book, it is about a boy Max and a flying pony named Kevin, they swam together under water to get food from shops because there was a flood in the story.
