Publisher's Summary
A young girl discovers a portal to a land filled with centaurs and unicorns in Seanan McGuire's Across the Green Grass Fields, a stand-alone tale in the Hugo and Nebula Award-wining Wayward Children series.
"Welcome to the Hooflands. We're happy to have you, even if you being here means something's coming."
Regan loves, and is loved, though her school-friend situation has become complicated, of late.
When she suddenly finds herself thrust through a doorway that asks her to "Be Sure" before swallowing her whole, Regan must learn to live in a world filled with centaurs, kelpies, and other magical equines - a world that expects its human visitors to step up and be heroes.
But after embracing her time with the herd, Regan discovers that not all forms of heroism are equal, and not all quests are as they seem....
A stand-alone Wayward Children story containing all-new characters, and a great jumping-on point for new listeners.

For horse girls
I love this series. This one is an endearing story about friendship, accepting yourself, and making choices.

Excellent, as always
I had read that this wasn't as good as other books in the series, and I suppose that is owing to its disconnection to previously seen characters in said series. However, Seanan McGuire seems to have a keen sense of how to avoid - if you'll excuse my on-the-nose expression - beating a dead horse. Not that the aforementioned characters have yet been overused, and that's my point. This story was a beautifully told tale of the much maligned Weird Horse Girl from school, intertwined with the very real story of growing up fundamentally different to your peers, set against the fantastical backdrop of an imagined world perfect for its main character to grow as themselves and learn the lessons they needed to learn before returning to the "real world".
I loved it, as I have loved all the previous instalments of the Wayward Children series. All new characters is this world are welcome.
