Centaur Rising

One night during the Perseid meteor shower, Arianne thinks she sees a shooting star land in the fields surrounding her familys horse farm. About a year later, one of their horses gives birth to a baby centaur. The family has enough attention already as Ariannes six-year-old brother was born with birth defects caused by an experimental drug--the last thing they need is more scrutiny. But their clients soon start growing suspicious. Just how long is it possible to keep a secret? And what will happen if the world finds out?At a time when so many novels are set in other worlds, Jane Yolen imagines what it would be like if a creature from another world came to ours in this thoughtfully written, imaginative novel, Centaur Rising.A Christy Ottaviano Book,
