Meer over het boek

Take flight with Pippa and her winged horse in this heartfelt two-book series about a young girl who must win the hardest race in ancient Greece to stay with her closest friend. Acclaimed author Kallie George delivers a tale perfect for horse lovers and fans of Greek myths. High on Mount Olympus, amidst sun-splashed meadows and sparkling waters, glide the winged horses of the ancient gods. Pippa, a lost, parentless girl, finds herself among the chosen jockeys for the gods’ once-in-a-hundred-years race. With her undersized, impetuous steed, Zephyr, Pippa faces the greatest challenge of her life: achieving victory in a perilous race across the sky. No one expects them to win; Pippa, a poor orphan who has spent her life in stables, seems out of place among the divine. Despite her love for Zephyr, his smaller stature puts them at a disadvantage. If they fail to win, the gods will separate them forever. To stay with Zephyr, Pippa must train harder and dare to defy the odds against jealous gods and ruthless competitors. This stirring adventure proves that love can triumph over might, making it a must-read for fans of middle-grade literature.
