This is the fifth book in the series about Teddy.
Lin and Margareta are an unbeatable team when it comes to horse books for the younger readers. It is obvious that they have a close cooperation - their text and pictures perfectly complement each other. These books always get good reviews, and always appear on bestseller lists.
From an interview with Kristin Hallberg, Department of Literature at the University of Stockholm, and expert on horse books:
How has the horse book genre developed?
“In Sweden, it is actually Lin Hallberg who leads this development. In her books, she manages to insert the rest of the world around the girls, without having it overwhelm the story. She doesn’t forget to include the adults, with their problems with economy and marriage. Usually, girls’ books tend to keep the parents in the periphery.

Lin Hallberg probably doesn’t need a closer introduction. Among young people crazy about horses, she has made herself known with a number of different series, and she writes equally well for all age groups.
