About this ebook

Junior high is complicated. 13-year-old Miranda Stevens decides she prefers her equine friends—until Mr. Taylor, who owns the controlling half of Starlight, the country's fastest race horse, takes him to a horse sale without telling her. Or so she thinks. But if he didn't take her horse, who did? Mystery and angst, friendships won and loss, birth, death, heartache and joy test Miranda's courage.
