When Tom's favourite Shetland pony, Storm, is sold to work in the coal mines, he is devastated. The poor little black pony will have to work underground for the rest of his life - never seeing the sky or breathing fresh air! And when there is a terrible accident in the mine, Tom wonders whether he'll ever be with Storm again... 
 
A heart-warming story from an award-winning author.

Storm, the pony, has to earn a living down the mines - will Tom ever be able to forget him?
