"Like Harry Potter, but better," says my daughter. "And, it's about a GIRL (Menolly by name) who goes to school to get better at something she's good at." |
Sequel to Dragonsong, which was the first fiction book that captivated my then 9-year old daughter. (Before that, she read non-fiction almost exclusively.) |

I was not sure whether to be shocked or amazed at the outrage my daughter expressed when she realized that Menolly was forbidden to sing just because she was not a male. Guess gender bias has not held my daughter back as of yet. On the other hand, she LOVES this book. |
My daughter also loved Dragonsinger. |
