Take flight with Pippa and her winged horse in this heartfelt two-book series about a young girl who must win the hardest race in ancient Greece in order to stay with her closest friend.

This new series from acclaimed author Kallie George is perfect for horse lovers and fans of Greek myths alike!

High on the slopes of mighty Mount Olympus, among the sun-splashed meadows and sparkling waters, glide the winged horses of the ancient gods. Here up high is normally no place for a lost, parentless girl like Pippa. But once every hundred years, the gods and goddesses descend to the mortal realm to choose jockeys for their winged horse race—and Pippa is one of the lucky children chosen to ride.

With her undersized, impetuous winged steed, Zephyr, by her side, Pippa has to confront the greatest challenge of her life: achieving victory in a race across the sky.

No one expects Pippa and Zephyr to win, or even finish, this death-defying race. A poor orphan who’s spent her life working in stables, Pippa doesn’t seem to belong in the world of the gods. And while she loves Zephyr with all her heart, he’s smaller than the other winged horses racing. But if Pippa and Zephyr don’t find a way to win, the gods will separate them—forever.

To stay with Zephyr, Pippa will have to work harder, train longer, and dare more bravely than her competition. In a race filled with petty, jealous gods and goddesses and a host of ruthless riders, Pippa must prove that love is greater than might.

This stirring adventure series by beloved author Kallie George is perfect for fans of the Percy Jackson books and The War That Saved My Life.

“I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one! If you have younger kids (or are even just a fan of middle grader books yourself) I would absolutely recommend this book.” —A Bibliophiles Book Blog

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one! If you have younger kids (or are even just a fan of middle grader books yourself) I would absolutely recommend this book.” — A Bibliophile’s Book Blog

“Manipulated by powerful gods and goddesses, Pippa and the other child riders must use all of their wits to make it through their training, the fantastical occurrences on Mount Olympus, and the final thrilling zip to the finish... A high-flying adventure.” — School Library Journal

“The winning premise should draw readers who are into horses and Greek mythology… Pippa’s choices should prompt readers to ponder how love, fate, and trust determine our actions. A fun series starter.” — Booklist

“WINGS OF OLYMPUS is a combination of classic horse story, mythic fantasy, and meditation on the power of love” — Quill & Quire

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019

Wings of Olympus is a beautiful story of a young girl chosen by the gods to race a winged horse on Olympus. It was a delight to read, and a fun story. I would recommend it for girls ages about 8-11. There are themes of love, friendship, honesty, and hard work. The relationship between Pippa and Zeph is sweet, and fun to watch it grow. Interesting how that affects the race as well.

I love the Heartwood series (highly recommend them!), and this had a lot of the same gentle feel.

The art is wonderful! Both the cover and pictures inside are a treat.

There were a couple scary parts, like the lost former children riders in the forest. It's brief but pretty spooky.

My personal disappointment was a few intriguing elements that were never built on! The introduction to the story gives a picture of the Fates, and rather than a thread being cut, it breaks and is tied again. I was immediately caught and thought, "Ooohh, how will that play into the story!" But it doesn't! I'm still confused by that. It seemed important, but it wasn't. I also wished for a bit more tying up at the end. She'd made these friends (and rivals) throughout the story, but suddenly she's away from them, and we don't get a picture of their ending or even much of hers. I didn't like Aphrodite at all, and she's the goddess of love! I felt like she would have behaved far differently.

Still, a wonderful story. After my 9 year old reads it I'll add her review as well. I think she'll really like it.

I hated that she was banished, this book was dissapionting and had no structural value. I think the ending could have been happier. considering that she was banished and her horse lost its wings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winged Horses? I'm in...
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021

Read this to my 9-year-old. She loves horses, so a flying horse race drew us in. Who won't want to race for the gods and goddesses on a winged horse? With the chance of getting to stay on Mount Olympus if you win! How exciting. We loved all the different characters and the stories of their lives. All the turmoil and secret wishes. It was a wonderful story with a great ending. Highly recommend.

Captivating from the beginning and hard to put down. Perfect read aloud for grade four or five and novel for kids up to grade seven I would say.
Would recommend!
