The Ice Dragon

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Luis Royo. Winter child Adara, physically cold and emotionally distant, becomes infatuated with an ice dragon that only appears around her birthday. When war comes, Adara must choose between fleeing with the dragon or returning to save her family at great cost. Royo's intricate, icy blue-tinted illustrations lend this repackaged fairy tale a long-ago-and-far-away feel, though the book design looks too young for the intended audience.
