ONE TRICK PONY is a graphic novel that takes place in a dystopian future where “pipers” are destroying all technology on earth. When Strata, her brother, and friend scavenge for leftover technology, they discover a robot pony, Kleidi, that ends up playing a vital role in earth’s survival.

though the Kleidi is a robot that cannot speak, author Nathan Hale creates a strong bond between Strata her newly found robot pony. The reader will fall in love with Strata and Kleidi, rooting for them to save the earth. This graphic novel is a great addition to any elementary or middle school classroom. Show Less

This is so disappointing. I love Hale's historical Hazardous Tales series, but this science fiction yarn fails to take off, and he really chokes on the ending. The only tolerable bit is the running joke about alpacas.

This was great!
Awesome art and characters. The story had some weak links, (the overall premise lost it 1 star for me), but I'd have read this straight through if I hadn't started it on a lark before work (for some unknown reason).
Definitely worth a read.

be interpreted as diverse too?) The vocabulary isn't too difficult so I think kids as young as 3rd graders would enjoy all of the action in this story--I could easily recommend this to lots of kids. Show Less
