2PM SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 Club Read: Centaur Rising LOCATION: TEMPE

Calling all tweens! Join us for free grub from Clockwork Pizza and as Club Read members discuss Jane Yolen's new novel, about how Arianne and her family bond together to conceal an amazing secret—a centaur foul has been born at their 1960s horse farm.

One night during the Perseid meteor shower, Arianne thinks she sees a shooting star land in the fields surrounding her family's horse farm. About a year later, one of their horses gives birth to a baby centaur. The family has enough attention already as Arianne's six-year-old brother was born with birth defects caused by an experimental drug—the last thing they need is more scrutiny. But their clients soon start growing suspicious. Just how long is it possible to keep a secret? And what will happen if the world finds out?
