(4) 4-6 Dragonsdale series. Illustrated by Ginny Marklew. Ambition and misunderstanding derail the relationship between dragon-crazy Cara and her quieter best friend, Breena, as they compete in dragon-riding contests. Meanwhile, Cara befriends a merboy, and her spiteful archenemy, Hortense, makes more trouble. Drake's fantasy is overly neat and precious at times but involving and heartfelt nevertheless. Sprawling illustrations threaten to overtake some of the pages.
