Falcon's Egg

A subtle old-fashioned story. Nothing really happens with the dragon, and the people are mostly sketches that fill roles in Falcon's life. It's just a story about how Falcon learns lessons about different kinds of love, and how she finally does become "mature for her age." Oh, and the 'troubled' family? Well, a little bit challenged, ok... but mainly by today's standards. In pioneer times, children of 11 would definitely be depended upon as caregivers for the younger one. Maybe the sequel enriches, but I won't bother to try to find it.
