Others race to survive. 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 choice. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author Maggie Stiefvater takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Praise for The Scorpio Races: * "Masterful.

Stiefvater sets not one foot wrong as she takes readers on an intoxicating ride of their own. ... Stiefvater's novel begins rivetingly and gets better and better...all the way, in fact, to best." - <b><i>The Horn Book</i></b>, starred review </br></br>* "While there is plenty of action, conflict, excitement, and a heart-stopping climax, it is the slowly developing relationship between Kate and Sean that makes the book remarkable." -- <i><b>School Library Journal</b></i>, starred review </br></br>"[A] thrilling book that's as unusual as it is alluring." -- <i><b>The Los Angeles Times</b></i><br> </br></br>"In her most addictive story yet, Stiefvater revives the strong, silent type in sexy, brooding monster tamer Sean Kendrick. His co-narrator, Puck, is heartbreakingly adorable as a stubborn little sister growing into a brave, self-assured woman. Stiefvater is a master of magical realism, and her prose leaves the reader cold, damp and anxious as November closes in on the isolated island setting." -- <i><b>RT Book Reviews Magazine</b></i><br> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Maggie Stiefvater is the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the novels <i>Shiver</i>, <i>Linger</i>, <i>Forever</i>, and <i>Sinner</i>.
