Teen Book Club (High School only) - Thursday, January 12 @
4:00 PM  The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Summary: It happens at the start of every November--the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. 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. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition -- the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. Books are available at the library for checkout. |
