Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold is a poignant chapter book that delves into the emotional world of Honey, a student at Chestnut Hill boarding school. Honey carries the heavy burden of a secret: her twin brother is seriously ill, and she hasn't shared this with her new friends. Her anxieties are compounded when she finds an injured pony, Minuet, and dedicates herself to its care, channeling her deep emotions into nurturing the animal. This story sensitively explores themes of family illness, the challenge of opening up to friends, and the profound connection between humans and animals, making it suitable for children aged 7-11.
