The Ice Dragon

111 pp. | Tor/Starscape | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-765-31631-5 $12.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Yvonne Gilbert. Emotionless winter child Adara cares for the deadly ice dragon more than she loves her own family--but when war comes, she must choose. The combination of a seven-year-old heroine with scenes of gory violence makes the audience for this fairy tale unclear; however, flowing illustrations evocative of cold and a powerfully emotional sacrifice at the climax make the book memorable.
