INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Dragonborn

(2) 4-6 Flaxfield Quartet series. Apprentice wizard Sam is lonely and beleaguered when his master, Flaxfield, dies. Flaxfield's former apprentices accuse Sam of lying about his status; he ends up sent to the mines. Like many a naive wanderer, Sam meets some kind helpers and some mischief-makers. With glimmers of Tolkien, Alexander, Rowling, and others, this fantasy offers up its own friendly, sympathetic voice, imagined land, and characters.
