A review by maryhannawilson
One Trick Pony by Nathan Hale
3.0
The aliens have arrived and they are on the hunt for technology so they can harvest the energy. Strata and her family are part of a group of humans who are trying to rescue and save the technology while others are simply focused on survival. When Strata and her friends discover a hidden cave of technology, the aliens aren't far behind them. In a desperate move, Strata rescues a robot horse and now it is a race to return home and save her horse from the aliens. Little does she know, so much more is in store!
Nathan Hale took a fun detour from his typical historical graphic novels and as a fan, I was excited to read this one. One Trick Pony was full of adventure and action, but it was not one of my favorite graphic novels for kids. I had a hard time getting settled into the plot, but once I did, it was a fairly fun read. There is a lot of random humor from one character, which is typical of Nathan Hale, and I think kids love it.
NOTE: Parents should be aware that the concept of aliens harvesting our planet could be disturbing for younger readers. The images in the back might contribute to the concern.
