#77 Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

[missingvolume]

The latest installment in the Wayward Children series is a good one for someone to start with. There is no connection to any of the other books and new readers can start fresh without having any backstory spoiled. Current readers of the series are in for a treat with Regan and her adventure in Hooflands. When she has a horrible day at school after trusting a friend with a secret that promptly goes awry. Regan runs from school and takes the back way home by the creek.  After passing into the tree arch that takes her to the Hooflands she finds herself in a place that is populated with centaurs and other mythological hooved beings.  Regan ignores the usual path of any humans that come into Hooflands and instead decides to live with the centaur group that found her. Regan’s story in the Hooflands is complete in this book and there are no cliffhangers about her adventures there.  I’m hoping that we will see more of Regan at some point in the future.  Or even more of the Hooflands with another child finding that door.
