A note for parents

Across the Green Grass Fields is a thoughtful fantasy adventure about a girl finding belonging in a magical world of centaurs and equines. The story explores themes of friendship, heroism, and self-discovery with emotional depth, though it includes some darker elements and mild violence tied to quest-like challenges. While marketed as young adult, the literary sophistication and introspective tone make it most suitable for middle-grade readers aged 10+ who enjoy character-driven fantasy.

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 readers.
