OLDER FICTION
McKinley, Robin

Dragonhaven

(4) YA Jake lives in a national park dedicated to dragon preservation. After witnessing the death of a mother dragon, he becomes surrogate mother to her baby. Jake often sounds superior and has an annoying penchant for parenthetical interruption. The story has little suspense, but McKinley's affection for animal life is evident. In her customary way she evokes a complete, detailed alternate reality.
