This is the original version of Miranda and Starlight. Now out of print, it is quickly becoming a valuable collector's item. Now in its second printing, the revised edition of the award-winning Miranda and Starlight is selling like hot cakes as letters from young readers pour in. The first book of a highly acclaimed new series of children's fiction will entertain and encourage; thrill and edify its readers. In this heartfelt story, ten-year-old Miranda Stevens is sent to live on her grandfather's ranch while her mother seeks her fortune in Hollywood. Faced with being the new girl in a rural school where cliques are formed and unwelcoming, Miranda has the added frustration of being picked on by the class bully. Passionate and impulsive, Miranda is sure that a horse of her own would solve all of her problems. When dared by the bully to ride a horse in a stranger's field, she doesn't hesitate, and thus begins a series of adventures that will keep readers turning the pages and asking for more. Although set in the world of horse lore, Miranda and Starlight was touted by Writer's Notes Awards panelists as ?more than a mere horse story. It is a journey of courage and consequences.' The reviewer added, ?My own children will read this story.' Besides earning the Notable award, this book and it's sequel Starlight's Courage, have won the favor of a film producer and a feature film is currently in development.
