5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! May 26 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I first read this book when I was in sixth grade, and I am currently in tenth and still love it! I am an avid reader and of all the books I've read, this is my favorite. I've read and re-read this wonderful book so many times, I have the first paragraph of the first chapter memorized! Jane Yolen is an amazing author, and her characters seem like real people you can relate to. Believe me, if you love dragons, this is the book for you.(and the next two books as well) :0)

5.0 out of 5 stars I series I want Jun 8 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is really great. It consists of a fantasy world with a whole different planet that has some modern things; yet has dragons. The author knows who to put a fantasy of dragons into a small world of romance. The last chapter was a disappointment though. It mainly told what happened between his love Akki and himself. It faintly described his dragon. but as my friends know; I love the fantasy world. I reccomend it completely.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read! May 18 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a book made for those people who like the book Eragon. It is full of adventure, love, and action. Jakkin is a 15 year old boy who loves dragons. He is what they call a bonder(slave) who works in a dragon nursery. Everyone says that he has a real talent with the dragons, and they know that he is the most likely to become a dragon master. He has waited his entire life to get a dragon, when he steals it from the hatchery he takes it far away to an oasis and has to hide it from dangerous predators and other people. He has to sweep all his tracks and get back before the cold of night kills him. When he sneeks out at night people become suspicious at why he is so tired and keeps ending up in the nursery hospital. HIs challenge begins when he has to train the dragon and get it to a fight. The challenge is is how is he going to train it and get it there without being caught by the owner of the nursery.
