Starlight's Shooting Star (Book 4 of the Miranda and Starlight series) by Janet Muirhead Hill

n the fourth installment of the Miranda and Starlight series, sixth-grader Miranda Stevens dives into new adventures at Country View School, her home, and the Shady Hills Horse Ranch. At the ranch, where her friend Christopher keeps his mare, Queen, Miranda continues to bond with the spirited black stallion, Starlight. Queen’s new foal, Shooting Star, a vibrant dark red filly sired by Starlight, captures Miranda’s attention, though the ranch owner, Mr. Taylor, dismisses the foal for not being black. When Mr. Taylor asks Miranda to help a jockey connect with Starlight for upcoming races, Miranda grapples with her deep connection to the stallion, who she sees as her own. Balancing schoolyard challenges, ranch responsibilities, and her growing affection for Shooting Star, Miranda navigates jealousy, loyalty, and her desire to prove the worth of both horses.
I marvel at the depth of the plot in your series of the Starlight books. They have been enjoyed by young and old in my family. Keep on writing, ­— A Montana mother and grandmother

Starlight’s Shooting Staris a wonderful addition to the Starlight series. Each book in this series is better than the last. As the story unfolds the reader is at the edge of their seat wondering what will happen next. I liked the way Ms. Hill brought Carey Steven’s back into Miranda’s life as the mother she always wanted. Bringing back her father and the adoption of baby Kort was an unexpected and pleasant twist. This book was wonderfully written and illustrated. Concern for Margot has me looking forward to the next story. Starlight’s Shooting Star is another brilliant novel that will delight readers both young and old. —KeepItComing.com by Somer Robb

Starlight’s Shooting Star
I know a great series when I read one! Here is one just waiting for young readers to discover! So much happens in this book. Grandpa has an accident, Miranda and a few classmates become lost, and a surprising new character throws everyone for a loop! Book four, in my opinion, is the best one yet. — Detra Fitch, HUNTRESS REVIEWS
