The story centers around 12-year-old Silas Bird, a quiet boy with a remarkable photographic memory and a deep love for books. Silas lives with his father, Martin Bird, a bootmaker and talented inventor, in a secluded area far from town. Silas also has an unusual companion: the ghost of Mittenwool, who has been with him for as long as he can remember.

One night, their peaceful life is interrupted when three mysterious horsemen arrive and abduct Silas’s father, leaving Silas terrified and uncertain of his father’s fate. Soon after, a strikingly beautiful pony appears at Silas’s door. Silas sees the pony as a sign and decides to set off on a daring journey to find and rescue his father, with Mittenwool and the pony as his only companions.

As Silas travels across a rugged, dangerous landscape, he encounters challenges that test his courage, resilience, and the depth of his love for his father. Along the way, he uncovers secrets about his family and gains a greater understanding of himself. Pony blends adventure, mystery, and elements of the supernatural, exploring themes of bravery, identity, love, and loss.
