So, the book I canoot wait to read this week is:
Halo by Zizou Corder
Released 4th February 2010, Puffin
Summary from Amazon:
Washed ashore as a baby in ancient Greece, Halo is discovered by a family of centaurs. Although her true identity remains a mystery, she is loved as one of their own. But when Halo is dragged away by fishermen, her wild adventure begins . . . Halo soon realizes that if she is to survive then she must live in disguise – as a boy. A violent war is threatening to erupt and Halo is at the mercy of the mighty Spartan warriors. And as she battles to hide her secret, Halo never forgets her quest to find out who she is – and where she really came from.
Me again:
More historical fantasy fiction! I just love the idea of having a brother who is a centaur. I also happen to love Greek mythology. I read an article in Puffin Post about this book where the authors were explaining their inspiration for writing it. Zizou Corder is a mother daughter team. How cool! Their article completely hooked me!
