It's been a while.

As the title says, it's been a while since I've read this book. I first read it in first grade in a small library. It was one of the first twenty or so full length novels I had read at that time, so I simply read it twice and checked it in. A year later with many more such books under my belt I realized that I had passed up a very good read and went beck to look for it. When I got there, the librarian, a good friend of mine, told me that the book had just been sold in an old book sale. Since then I have hunted for it off and on for eight years without success. Now I've found it and I can't wait to see if it's as good as I remember. I liked the main character and was intrigued by the idea of time-traveling centaurs. I don't remember the youth's name, but the synopsis of the story, as my almost nine year old memories recall, is as follows. Born to a winged mother, the boy is the only male member of his race born for years. There is one other who is bittered by age. He turns out to be the fullfillment of a prophecy and enemies arise to face him. There is more but I don't trust my memories enough to commit them to the written word. However, I do recomend the book. It is a good read.
