Max is a young boy living in an ordinary tower block. He longs for adventure in his life – then one day – DOOF! – a flying pony called Kevin crashes into his flat, blown in by a magical storm!
The storm causes a huge flood and soon Max’s town submerged by water. Luckily for the town, Max has a flying pony to come to the rescue, and luckily for Kevin, he has a new best friend and a constant supply of his favourite thing – biscuits.
Together Max and Kevin will embark on many wild adventures together . . .
This is the start of a hilarious new series brought to you by the creative and inspiring duo Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre and is packed with amazing two-colour illustrations.

I love this book and I think it’s great because there’s a flying pony
I really love the part where Kevin is swept away by the storm and lands his rounded bottom on the side of Max's flat.
I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventures and also books by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre.
My favourite character is Max because he helped Kevin.
This book is about a flying pony called Kevin and a boy called Max. I like the pony Kevin because he could fly. Also is a good minded person and he rescued everyone from a flood in the town.
I would recommend this to my friends who love fiction books
This is a funny and exciting book, it is about a boy Max and a flying pony named Kevin, they swam together under water to get food from shops because there was a flood in the story.

i thought it was good

yes because it was funny
Great for Y1-3.
A funny rambling story. Easy to follow. Some ambitious vocabulary and great examples of expanded noun phrases and simple figurative language.
I can think of lots of children and families to recommend this book to.
It's OK.
It was very interesting, I enjoyed that he ate custard creams. I liked Kevin the flying pony best. I would recommend this book to someone else.
I loved the bit where daisy was being dramatic, I'm the thunderstorm
It was funny and something I hadn’t read before and it was a good book
loved it!
Great story
I enjoyed this fiction book about Max and Kevin on their adventures.
I would recommend this book.
My favourite character was Kevin because I love ponies and he was a flying one who ate biscuits! The best part of the book was when the sea monkeys trapped a teacher and had to sit on the roof of the school.
It was funny and my favourite character was Kevin.
There were some funny characters and I mainly like this book because it had a happy ending.
It was a funny and good book because Kevin the fictional flying pony was hit by a colossal storm this made him fly to max’s balcony and max always wanted a pet so he let him in.After there was a flood and max and Kevin helped everyone.
I like this book because it’s got a flying pony and I like how Kevin and Max help the people in the flood like Mr Mould. My favourite character is Daisy but you have to call her Elvira because she’s going though a goth phase Which I love because I love goth things.
The pictures were really funny and it was a really really good book.
I thought the book was very well written and was very heart touching in the ending.
