to humans, aside from a few children, dragons still do exist, . .
This book had been on my mind a lot since I left elementary school, from what I remembered it was a very enjoyable read, but for the longest time I could not think of the name or author.
All I could remember was what the book was about, because certain scenes had stuck very vividly in my mind, and finally someone was able to tell me what the name of the book was.
I registered a book at BookCrossing, com!
sitelink BookCrossing. com/journal/ Follows the adventures of Arthur, a young and fearless dragon living with his tribe in northern Vermont, as he grows up, marries, becomes the leader of his tribe and together with a human friend tries to improve relations between dragons and people.
This was a pretty good book and I enjoyed the fact that it had dragons to do with it My favorite fantasy as a child.
Been in love with dragons ever since, Fun book set in the modern day about a young dragon, Im quite nostalgic about this book since I read and loved it back in theth orth grade, finally found it again inand it was a decent read then.
Not the most complex book, but a fun one, A childhood favorite, which inspired the "dragon trees, " A fun fantasy book for kids, This is the book that got me into fantasy genre, Enough said. Memorable, weird, and not a little eerie, It needed to be longer though,
Arthur is the son of a dragon killed rescuing humans, Patrick is the human he one day rescues as a baby, and shares milk with, A human who shares dragon's milk becomes bound to that dragon in dreams, Patrick becomes a witness to Arthur's life, and the war of the dragons versus the moon,
Yeah, that's right, the moon, The moon at the beginning of creation once loved the white dragons that lived there on its light side.
But then it grew jealous over their beauty, and the beauty of the sun itself,
It tried to make war against them both, but was defeated, and forced back into space to orbit us, isolated.
Its air was taken away to prevent any more dragons from visiting it, and soon it grew angry at them, and used its power of the tides to hurt dragons whenever it could.
This is a FANTASTIC premise that has some seriously awesome power, I've always been partial to things about the moon, and to imagine it as an enemy in itself is great.
This culminates in the If I had read this as a child I'd have been enchanted, Even now I like it,
The problem is so little time is spent on the moon, and so much on Arthur's passive relationship with Patrick.
Apart from the ending, this is all Arthur's book, so it's time wasted, There's also a lot of arbitrary inclusions in the book, like the twin medics the black spider and the silver raccoon.
It also has the least romantic marriage proposal ever, Some things work, some don't, The craziness of the mythology always stands out though,
If it had been longer, or cut out Patrick and much of Arthur's early life to focus on the cool mythology, it would be great.
Even now it's good, and I'm glad I finally tracked down a copy, Good for the weird kid in your life, Susan Fromberg Schaeffer was an American novelist and poet who was a Professor of English at Brooklyn College for than thirty years.
