This time, the story takes place on an island somewhere along the British Isles that is famous for its yearly Scorpio Races. Maggie Stiefvater’s The Scorpio Races, much like her Raven Cycle series, overflows with myths and magic. This book has pretty much everythin g that makes for a great story: a wayward island during an undisclosed long-gone time period, violent sea horses, a race to the death, a determined girl who wants to prove she’s worth every man’s life, a determined young man who wants to own the one thing that’s truly home to him, and then some. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Publication Date: October 18th 2011 by Scholastic Press
