A small subset of pony books is made of stories about "the seedy underbelly" of the horse world. It usually involves horse racing, but occasionally - like this one - takes place in the horse show world. In children's books there is usually a case of mistaken identity where the wrong horse is injured for insurance money. (In adult books, the horse usually dies and there is human murder and/or gambling addiction involved as well.) You can often tell whodunit in the first chapter by noticing which character jerks the reins or yanks on a lead rope. The Crumb takes the cake in this genre. A girl and her backyard pony are swept into horse show scandal. How did that needle end up in an empty barn? Why does that man look so shifty? These compelling questions are the background of the story about a girl trying to work to make money to buy her pony a blanket. Snark aside, I am addicted to pony books! Really though, I was a bit surprised by a plot point in The Crumb. The 70s were perhaps a harsher time for young girls than now; I know I would have been hysterical if it had happened to me. The book's extra half point rating was simply due to the shock and awe of deviating from the standard formula. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
