Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Dragons are dangerous creatures---all the stories say so. But after eleven-year-old Alanna accidentally stumbles upon a cave full of dragon eggs, she soon discovers that maybe the stories have it wrong.
"Weigel has created a compulsively likable heroine who seamlessly blends her strength and compassion, reminiscent of Ben Hatke's Zita the Spacegirl . With lovable dragons, flying ships and danger around every corner, this delightful fantasy doesn't disappoint." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A lively yarn whose only fault is that it's over too soon." -- Publishers Weekly
