Teen Book Review
Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
 
This stand-out fantasy is set on the fictional island of Thisby in the near past or a dystopian future where there are cars and radios but no television or the Internet. Here, young men are drawn to the barren beaches of the Scorpio Sea each November to compete in a brutal race astride meat-eating mounts. Kate Connolly, known as Puck, tries to keep her impoverished family intact by entering the races and winning the pot. The capaill uisce, or water horses, have the ability to lull their human riders into a stupor and carry them back to the ocean to be devoured. Puck has already lost both of her parents.
