He takes her mother's ashes and runs away with her talking pony Tooth to undertake a pilgrimage of sorts. But along the way, little goes to plan - though there are plenty of adventures in store for Folly and Tooth, including encounters with a wild woman in the woods, a boy with unusual interests, and some very dangerous men whom she manages to get on the wrong side of...

Will Folly and Tooth live to tell the tale of their harrowing journey?

This is an intelligent, sensitive story about traditions, a search for meaning, and coming to terms with loss. Worth a read, it gets 3.5 stars
