Short description

With no money, friends or future and a busted leg that's left her in a clunky brace, Calliope Sullivan knows she'll never be a real jockey -- until she discovers a broke down pasture horse with a secret history, a history that stretches back to the ancients and the myths of winged creatures. Pegasus Flies Again is a lightning-paced young adult thriller about courage, true grit and great risk.
