"There was a dream I had one night. I had a good leg and wore checkered silks, just like a real jockey -- not some broken farm girl with these mud-slick rubber boots and clacking metal brace."

So begins the incredible, haunting story of Calliope Sullivan -- a new novel by an award-winning writer whose work has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, McSweeney's and many other publications. With no money, friends or future and a busted leg that's left her in a clunky brace, Calliope knows she'll never be a 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.

At just 11, Calliope risks everything to save her family farm, as she unravels the mystery of this magical new thoroughbred that seemingly fell from the sky and discovers along the way the magical, healing power of a good friend.

Pegasus Flies Again is a lightning-paced young adult thriller about courage, true grit, new friendships and the secrets everyone buries within. With an anti-bullying message and the heart and soul of "Because of Winn Dixie" -- mixed with a light sprinkling of Percy Jackson -- Pegasus Flies Again is for anyone who ever thought of defying the odds and following her dreams. No matter the risk.
