Get ready to start your horses!
and
GO TITAN RACING!
Victoria Scott, the author of the Dante Walker trilogy, Fire and Flood duology, Four Houses and Violet Grenade (Summer 2017) is at it again with her latest book Titans (February 2016) about a girl, a mechanical horse, the determination to save her family, and a million dollar dream!
Below are quotes pulled from MY review of Titans!
"This book is a MUST READ of 2016. Despite the fantasy aspect of the Titans (Mechanical horses!), Victoria's novel is full of real world problems, a strong female friendship, and tons of girl power."
"I never thought I was going to fall in love with a metal horse, but Padlock is different."
"Padlock even had a little romance with the White Mare that lived in Barney's barn. I was rooting for a horse romance. That is how much I loved Padlock."
"I liked Astrid from page one. She is determined and fierce. She knows what she wants ..... the winner of the overall races receives an award of 2 million dollars and Astrid knows that is enough to save her house, and send her and her best friend to college."

Title: Titans
Author: Victoria Scott
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Summary:
Ever since the Titans first appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivan’s world has revolved around the mechanical horses. She and her best friend have spent countless hours watching them and their jockeys practice on the track. It’s not just the thrill of the race. It’s the engineering of the horses and the way they’re programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she’ll ever touch. She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford the expensive machines to ride, and the working class friends and neighbors of Astrid’s who wager on them. But when Astrid’s offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this year’s derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it’s more than a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she cares about.
