Across the Green Grass Fields

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire, 174 pages

Regan is your average 10-year-old girl with a tight group of friends and an undying love of horses. But when a fight with a friend sends Regan running home through the woods, she stumbles upon a door, and into the Hooflands, a world filled with hoofed animals including centaurs, unicorns, satyrs, hippogriffs, and more. As out-of-place as she feels there, she's also able to find a loving home among a centaur herd, despite their insistence that she go to meet the reclusive queen eventually.

As the sixth installment of McGuire's amazing Wayward Children novella series, you'd expect this to be difficult to describe because of ongoing events. In fact, this book would serve as an excellent standalone novella, ripe with a tale of love and acceptance, both of others and of self. I absolutely loved this, and I'm constantly amazed by McGuire's prolific talents.
