[.ca] Dragon's Milk (ISBN 0689716230)



This was one of the best I've read!:
I was very surprised at how good this book had turned out to be, so fabulous I intend on reading it over and over again till I have memorized every page. I highly recommend this book, it is full of adventure and astonishment. You will be unable to put this book down once you have picked it up. This book is truly a piece of art.


One of the Best:
I read this book over the summer last year after hearing about it in a magazine. Great if you liked Norbert from Harry Potter. Plenty of action, a little treason. Some younger kids may be confused by names and places. The only reason I give it four is because it could have been a little longer if you're advanced like me. Great read, I finished it in about three days.


Nobody to Trust:
A Review by Leah One night, Kaeldra's little sister contracts a disease that can only be cured with dragons milk. Kaeldra makes a deal with a dragon. She will watch her three draclings while she hunts. Unfortunately, one day the mother dragon is killed while hunting. Kaeldra needs to take the draclings where they can be raised properly. There are people searching for them. It is not easy to hide and feed three growing draclings. As the number of allies decreases, the number of enemies increases. Kaeldra doesn't know who she could trust. In this book, I liked how Kaeldra doesn't just get rid of the draclings, and she kept her focus on her goal. I also like the descriptions of the draclings. It makes it easy to picture them running around and flaming at each other. Another thing that I like is Kaeldra's character. I can easily imagine being her, and feeling the uneasiness of the draclings around her, and how scared she was when she found out that people were trying to kill her and the draclings. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy. It was easy to follow and understand. I really enjoyed reading it and it was hard to put down. I would also recommend the other two books in this trilogy.


Enter the Dragon's Lair:
If you're looking for a book with fantasy and plenty of adventure, the Dragon Chronicles is the series for you. In this first book, Kaeldra, a Kragish girl living as an outsider with some Elythians, struggles to fit in. The strange thing about Kaeldra besides her having straw-colored hair, unlike the Elythians' sleek raven color, and being abnormally tall, is that she has green eyes. According to ragish myths, a girl with green eyes is a dragonsayer and can call dragons. Kaeldra fiercely refuses to believe it, but when her youngest half-sister, Lyf, gets sick with vermillion fever, she must face the truth. She must go in the dragon's lair and get its milk. And so following in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, Kara, who could communicate with dragons (see Flight of the Dragon Kyn), Kaeldra journeys to the great dragon Fiora's den and takes care of her three draclings, later called Pyro, Ember, and Synge. Her fate is entwined with theirs when Fiora is suddenly slain and she is on an adventure of a lifetime to bring the draclings to Landerath. Along with the three specially characterized draclings, she finds out that she does really belong. You MUST MUST read this book!


Enjoyable Read:
