About this audiobook
A young girl discovers a portal to a land filled with centaurs and unicorns in Seanan McGuire's Across the Green Grass Fields, a standalone 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 standalone Wayward Children story containing all-new characters, and a great jumping-on point for new listeners.

Editor's Note
Magical standalone…
The newest book in Seanan McGuire’s “Wayward Children” series is a standalone story that introduces readers to Regan, a young girl who has embarked on an unexpected quest. Like all characters in the series, Regan finds herself thrust into another world, in this case the “Hooflands,” a place filled with magical equines like centaurs and kelpies. As Regan joins the herd, she finds that humans are expected to become heroes, and all is not as it seems.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wasn’t my favourite story and I was also annoyed that it ended on a cliffhanger! I really liked the portal world though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series does it again. A diverse lead. A magical land. A "destiny". Intrigue.
