    About this ebook

    The Ugly Pony tells the journey of an awkward pony galloping on bravely through bullies and hecklers. 


    When strange-looking pony Bella is born at a prize-winning stud yard, nobody wants to be her friend. She looks too different to fit in. Now, with the showing season looming and the prize-winning ponies heckling her, Bella must find her own inner beauty or risk getting bullied forever…


    A beautiful retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic, The Ugly Duckling, with a touch of unicorn magic!


    “A must-have for every children’s bookcase, it is literally impossible for any child not to fall in love with The Ugly Pony.” 


    “This is a new telling of a classic tale young readers will adore.”
