A story of love and the circle of life follows a legendary stallion who leaves his mark on the wild Chincoteague pony herds of Assateague Island.

A young girl works hard to buy a foal, but when things go wrong, she retains her faith and despite impossible odds achieves her goal and names him “Quintilius” for the star that shone over the baby Jesus. Set on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, during the annual wild pony-penning auction, a girl learns that in life, you get what you give. —Midwest Book Review, Youth Services Book Review A can-do message for kids to dream big without fear of failure.
