Fantasy is usually my thing, but this wasn't my favorite -
There wasn't quite enough there to make the world fully realized in fantasy, and the characters were a little too stylized for me.
I do like the story line and I think the premise is unique - even if the ending was predictable a little bit of a let down. It does make for a good solid read for younger (3rd-4th grade) readers ready to try an adventurous fantasy on for size. ( )

Mella has a rare talent - she's a dragon keeper. But her dragons are partially domesticated; wild dragons only appear in legends these days. One day, Mella accidentally finds a real dragon egg, and when its dragon is slain she promises to deliver the precious egg to its hatching ground far away in the mountains. Accompanied by a new friend, a squire named Roger, Mella sets off to keep her promise.

This is a good fantasy adventure with likeable characters. And dragons. Bound to be a hit. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061288489, Hardcover)

It is a rare talent, and only she can care for the Inn's herd. She feeds them, gathers their eggs, and tends to their injuries. But Mella dreams about the dragons of legend, even though hardly anyone believes they still exist. Dragons are small farm animals, not huge fire-breathing monsters. Everyone knows that.

Until one day changes everything.

A Knight of the Order of Defenders arrives at the Inn. Signs of the mythical dragons have led him there, he says. Then a simple errand takes Mella through the forest, where she stumbles across a dragon's egg—and faces the true, terrifying dragon guarding it. On the spot, Mella vows to get the egg safely to the fabled Hatching Grounds. She must leave her home for the first time, and she finds an unlikely companion in the Defender's squire, Roger.

For Mella and Roger, this one day is the beginning of an adventure. Where will it take them?
