The Scorpio Races | September 1, 2011

by Maggie Stiefvater (Scholastic Oct. 2011)

The+Scorpio+Races

Every November, riders take part in the Scorpio Races, riding mystical water horses over a deadly course. Some make it to the finish line. Others are not so lucky. Follow Puck Connolly-the first girl ever to enter the competition-and defending champion, Sean Kendrick, as the pair race with more than just a prize at stake. Stiefvater’s lyrical writing and magical atmosphere will have readers both racing to the finish and pulling on the reins, wanting each moment to last just a little bit longer.
