Mira and Moon: Forever My Star

By Sofie Sarenbrant

Finally, it’s the first day of the long-awaited horse riding camp that thirteen-year-old Mira has been eagerly waiting for. She can’t wait to gallop with her favourite pony Moon across the meadows and enjoy a picnic with her friend Melvin. But the test ride doesn’t go as planned and Mira ends up with another horse. To make things worse, Melvin would rather hang out with a boy who lives on the farm. 

In the third book of the Mira and Moon series, Mira still struggles to fit in and find her place. And to make a change when things don’t go her way. She tries to learn that things can still be good after all. Or even better.

Reviews

"When you read it, you immediately want to run to a stable and ride and care for a horse. It is wonderful to live that life for a while in the world of the story. What is more beautiful, however, is that Sofie Sarenbrant makes the reader understand what comfort and support horses can provide. How they can help a child to cope with things. How vital they can be. But the thing that I totally love the book for is how Sofie Sarenbrant brings out what it is like to have autism. Mira's difficulties, what she struggles with and how she feels is accurately portrayed. It's great that this is an obvious part of the book and is a natural way to provide an understanding of autism."
