Since her father\u2019s death early in 2080, thirteen-year-old\u00a0Cady has been her mother\u2019s right-hand girl. Mom has to work now, and it seems that the only time\u00a0Cady isn\u2019t worrying about her mother, her younger sister, or herself is when she\u2019s dreaming about dragons. Yet even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined becoming a dragon keeper, a Dragon Charmer, responsible for the care and well-being of a fierce, brave, beautiful, and endangered dragon.<\/p>\n

Most dragon literature of the day is defamatory and prejudicial and focused on the fearsome presence of a few mischief-makers. No one has written about dragons melting snow or moving clouds with the breeze from their wings; no one has written about the dragons\u2019 song. So, many years ago, Merlin\u2019s apprentice Maxine established the Society for the Preservation of Dragons, or Dragon Charmers. Members learn that dragons grow slowly and receive a new scale only when a person does an unselfish deed. A magical reference book catalogs the name of the person responsible for the good deed, as well as the time and date of its occurrence. Cady is shocked to see that her father\u2019s name appears in the book many times\u2014and that the last entry was only a day ago. He\u2019s still alive!<\/p>\n

Dragon Charmer<\/em>\u00a0takes place in a future world where water is in critically short supply, where biblio-vox audio books have replaced the old-fashioned books that had to be read with the eyes, where pets are not allowed, and where schooling is accomplished through group interactive television. In this world,\u00a0Cady works through the mystery of her father\u2019s disappearance and the dangerous responsibilities of secretly caring for a forbidden creature, and she learns that both her father and her dragon hold a few amazing secrets of their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
