TITANS by Victoria Scott
Expected Publication: February 23, 2016
By: Scholastic Press
From Victoria Scott, author of FIRE & FLOOD, comes a thrilling story of impossible odds.
Ever since the Titans first appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivanās 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. Itās not just the thrill of the race. Itās the engineering of the horses and the way theyāre programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing sheāll 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 Astridās who wager on them.
But when Astridās offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this yearās derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, itās 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.
