Starlight's Courage


Book Description

Starlights Courage is second in an award-winning series about the mishaps and adventures that form a bond of love between two spirited creatures: a girl and a horse. Miranda Stevens adventures with Starlight, an injured two year old stallion, have only begun in Miranda and Starlight. In this exciting sequel, both the girl and the horse are called upon to exhibit loyalty, courage and endurance. Miranda and her friends, Christopher and Laurie, ride Chriss horse, Queen in fierce competition against their classmates, unaware that a mad man is out for revenge. There is a feature film currently in development based upon the first two books in this series. It is difficult to find good young adult and middle-grade books with a horse theme. These are the first books in a series for middle grade girls (and boys) featuring Miranda Stevens and a horse named Starlight. These books with modern themes are well written with a fast pace and should be a hot selling series to the target audience. We rated them five hearts.
