 Across the Green Grass Fields (Wayward Children #6) by Seanan McGuire-174 pages

Regan is best friends with Laurel and Heather and they do everything together. Laurel can be volatile and cruel, though. When Heather brings a snake to school and shows it to Laurel and Regan Laurel freaks out and shuns her. Regan knows it was cruel, but wants to keep Laurel as a friend over Heather. When Regan learns a secret about herself from her parents she tells Laurel who, predictably, freaks out and is cruel to her. Regan runs from school and into the woods where she finds a door with the words Be Sure written above it. She enters through the door and into the Hooflands where she meets Pansy, a Centaur. Pansy takes Regan to her herd where she meets a young Centaur named Chicory. Regan and Chicory become best, true friends. The Hooflands are full of kelpies, fauns, minotaurs, perytons, and centaurs. All in the Hooflands believe humans are heroes and Regan's destiny is to save the Hooflands. Regan doesn't believe in destiny, though. She just wants to stay with her new family, Chicory and the Centaur herd. Eventually, Regan goes to save the Hooflands from its evil Queen. What she finds is that all is not as it seems. I really liked this and I've liked every book in this series so far. I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars.
