Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Just pure delight for young girls (7 - 10) especially if they love horses, but not essential. Ruby, the main character, is having trouble dealing with her Mum's pregnancy and the dominating effect it is having on her life. Fortunately Magna arrives with the Wish Pony. Is Magna a friendly witch or a modern day Mary Poppins, it doesn't matter because she and the pony are just what Ruby needs. Catherine has written a delightful story with not one word wrong. It would read aloud well especially at bed time. ( ) no reviews | add a review

"'When the balloon was born I was going to tell it exactly what I thought about it, how sick it had made my mother and how it had ruined my life.' Ruby's mum is having a baby, but why does she need one of those when she's already got a Ruby? To make matters worse, her best friend Sarah has just found another, BETTER friend. It seems like everyone is abandoning her. But when Ruby meets the mysterious Magda, who gives her a very special gift that might, just MIGHT even be a bit magical, everything begins to change."--Provided by publisher.
