Pony Mystery Photograph Competition

Puffin Books

Pony

The highly anticipated, unforgettable new story from the internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning author of Wonder, R.J. Palacio.

When Silas Bird wakes in the dead of night, he watches powerlessly as three strangers take his father away. Silas is left shaken, scared and alone, except for the presence of his companion, Mittenwool… who happens to be a ghost. But then a mysterious pony shows up at his door, and Silas knows what he has to do. So begins a perilous journey to find his father – a journey that will connect him with his past, his future, and the unknowable world around him.

PONY is destined to become a future classic. With over 16 million copies sold worldwide, Wonder has inspired countless readers to change the way they think about others – and to #ChooseKind. To continue building R.J. Palacio’s brand awareness, we will use a similar campaign theme in Pony, focusing on Silas’ courageous quest to find his father with #ChooseCourage. Join Silas on a journey that will change his life forever…
