From the Publisher
Praise for Maggie Stiefvater:
* "Stiefvater's novel, inspired by Manx, Irish, and Scottish legends of beautiful but deadly fairy horses that emerge from the sea each autumn, begins rivetingly and gets better and better . . . all the way, in fact, to best." -- HORN BOOK REVIEW, starred review
* "Masterful . . . like nothing else out there now." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
* "A study of courage and loyalty tested . . . utterly compelling." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review
* "A book with cross-appeal to lovers of fantasy, horse stories, romance, and action-adventure, this seems to have a shot at being a YA blockbuster." -- BOOKLIST, starred review
* "Up--On the sea-battered and wind-swept isle of Thisby, fall brings the famed and feared capaill uisce, or water horses, and with them, death . . . The author takes great liberties with the Celtic myth, but the result is marvelous." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review
"Stiefvater not only steps out of the young adult fantasy box with THE SCORPIO RACES but crushes it with pounding hooves. . . . If THE SCORPIO RACES sounds like nothing you've ever read, that's because it is." -- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Tactile world-building, an island full of compelling characters, and the budding romance between Sean and Puck all make for an unforgettable book that's quite unlike anything else out there." -- NPR BOOKS
"With this beautifully executed drama, Stiefvater has established herself as one of the finest YA novelists writing today." -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Tense, atmospheric, and utterly original." -- PEOPLE MAGAZINE
