One Trick Pony is a fantastically creative, innovative, strange look at the future. The book opens with three teens scavenging for technology. In this dystopic future, strange beings called Pipers have destroyed all the mechanical and metal items of the world, and seem dead-set on seeking out every last item. The teens come from a community that is trying to preserve technology and they stumble across a forgotten cache of robots... including a horse robot! The teens flee on the horse and thus starts a wild adventure that ends in the discovery of what the Pipers actually are, and the rescue of the human race! It's an exciting story, though I would have preferred that the book were a bit longer. The art is also stunning with detailed backgrounds and a great sense of motion.

3.5 stars.
An interesting little story. I kind of wish it was longer or had a sequel.
