the pony problem by barbara holland. jean wins a pony in a contest at the back of a lame magazine, the only part of the magazine she ever reads. it's an annual contest whereby the girl who sends in the best name, gets the pony sent to her. jean wins the pony. she lives in the suburbs and has to take care of it. her family doesn't have much money. her mom is a single mom (i recall that her dad is dead), and is the only woman on the subway platform in their particular neighborhood. jean is a misfit with hair that she accidentally dyed green and wears a fisherman's hat every day to cover it up. eventually jean rides the pony out to an abandoned farm where an eccentric old woman lives, and eventually though a series of delicate negotiations decides to board to pony for free if jean and her mother rent out the old servants quarters house.
