Hey readers! Have I got a great book for you! The Scorpio Races is a fantastic book by Maggie Stiefvater all about an island community whose existance revolves around the carnivorous water horses that populate the seas around them. These horses are very like the land horses we all know and love, except that they have an innate love of the sea and they like to drink the blood of mammals. Would you want to ride a horse like that? Not many would, but once a year the horses are paired with riders in a race that rivals chariot races from ancient Greek days. We meet Sean, the island born water horse trainer. We meet Puck, a girl who lost both her parents to the violent water horses.
All I want to do right now is read this book. It is amazing. Try it out!
