Synopsis
Naja and Taxa are from very different backgrounds and would never have met if it wasn’t for their common interest in horses. Despite their differences, the girls become best friends, but when Taxa starts to be interested boys and the older girls from the neighbouring institution, their friendship starts to fall apart.
Poetically spiced with beautiful illustrations of dandelion seeds blowing in the wind, this novel has several layers and is not only about friendships among girls and their love of horses. It is just as much a coming-of-age novel about the discovery of the sometimes rough and uncertain world outside the safe bubble of childhood.
