Mira and Moon: A Heart of Gold
The second part in Sarenbrant’s terrific horse book series about Mira and Moon.
Young Mira feels most comfortable in the stables, where she has befriended the stable horse, Moon. She feels that Moon understands her more than anyone, even though he has four legs and eats hay. Mira dreams of racing him, and it becomes now or never because soon she will grow too big to ride Moon for competition.
With each riding lesson, Mira becomes a better and safer rider. But one day, the happy Moon is bouncier than usual, and as they are about to practice jump, it leads Mira into an accident. She then decides to stop riding. Will Mira still find her way back to her best friend?
A Heart of Gold is about dreams and fears, friendship and betrayal, as well as about the love of a riding school pony by an anxious young girl.

Np boktpips (book blog)
“A very nicely written book with tenderness and warmth, but above all about the love for a pony… Mira & Moon, a new classic.”
Boknjutaren (book blog)
“The series about Mira and the Moon is a nice series that deals with friendship, dreams, alienation and the pressure to succeed, and a big dose of horses (...) Everyday relationship tension that captures the reader. Mira is a girl who is easy to like and get involved with”
Barnboksbloggen (children’s books blog)
“The books are well written, the chapters are just the right length and there is a drive that makes it hard to stop reading. I think many people would like these books very much and that there are many readers who can relate to Mira. I hope there will be more books in the series about Mira & the Moon, because they are needed!”
Bibliotekstjänst
"Sofie Sarenbrant is well established as a crime author and has also found her own niche in the large horse book industry - to focus on and give a voice to those who find it difficult to keep up with the conversation and understand all communication (... ) The author draws a nice picture of the person who has it harder than most others, how it feels when your only parent is burnt out and the bailiff starts sending demand letters at the same time as you love horses and want to be able to take riding lessons as usual. Straightforward language and an airy layout make the book easy to read for most people, even more inexperienced readers."
