Akhirnya selesai juga. Awalnya sih rada boring, tapi begitu mulai petualangan Ping dan si naga, cerita mulai mengalir, tema cerita mirip-mirip sama Drachenreiter, dimana naga akan mencari tempat demi kehidupan yang lebih baik. Tapi beda sama Drachenreiter yang cenderung lebih ramai, Dragon Keeper lebih sepi, tokoh utama hanya Ping si gadis budak, lalu Danzi si naga tua dan Hua si tikus yang selalu bersembunyi di baju Ping.

She has been a slave her whole life, and does not know what her name is, or who her parents are. The Dragon Keeper is mean and lazy, so she cares for the 2 dragons in his place, but she does not care much for them, since all they do is lay around.

She has been a slave her whole life, and does not know what her name is, or who her parents are. The Dragon Keeper is mean and lazy, so she cares for the 2 dragons in his place, but she does not care much for them, since all they do is lay around. They do not interact with her, or even eat the food she gives them. One day, the female dragon dies, and she feels guilty about this and tries to care for the remaining male dragon better, especially once she learns that she can hear what he is saying to her in her mind.

Suddenly, a dragon hunter comes, and is going to kill the remaining dragon for it's organs, so she helps it escape, but it will only leave if she goes with it. She goes with it, but only wants to go back to where she was, because even though her life has not been happy, it is the only one she knows. This becomes impossible, though, when she discovers that the dragon hunter is hunting for not only for the dragon, but also for HER, and that the whole country believes that she has stolen this dragon, and killed the other.

Even though she is not entirely fond of the dragon, she decides to accompany it on it's journey to the Ocean, and to do as the dragon tells her, and protect its stone. The dragon finds the stone even more important than its own health for some reason.

Well, there were good parts and bad parts to this story.

The good parts were that the dragon teaches her to count, which she has never learned, by saying, for example, 20 tens and 2 for 22, so throughout the book counting is done that way. This helps the reader feel more connected with her, in a way. I thought it was an interesting device. There is also a lot of adventure that happens, and the main character grows and changes a lot throughout the book, which is fun to read.

The bad parts are that there are a lot of boring downtimes between the adventurous parts, and they really drag. Also, the main character just goes along with the dragon, and takes a long time to warm up to him, even though he is very nice to her. She also seems to not care about what he is doing that much, which is dumb because she is going along with him, and when she finally DOES ask, about 20 pages from the end, she discovers it directly affects the rest of her life. I found her stupid and apathetic throughout a lot of the book, so it was hard to really connect with her, despite the methods the author uses, which I discussed above. There also is something to do with the dragon stone, which I won't ruin, but I figured it out almost instantly, and she doesn't bother to ask about it, again, until 20 pages from the end, so that was annoying too. Also, I've never read a book that takes place in BC China, so I wish the author would have described things a little more. It was a little to much from the characters mindset, and if it was something common to her, it wouldn't be described, even if it was something foreign to the reader.

There is a sequel, which I've read reviews that say it's better than this one. I could believe that, since she knows what's going on in the second book so I wouldn't find her as annoying. So, I think I'll check it out.(less)

I read this book as a child and it moved me in a way that I'm unable to forget.

The book is stunningly written and refreshingly different. There are a few reasons why I admire Wilkinson so greatly:

Firstly, the setting of the novel is a challenge in itself. Not only is she setting her novel in China, but also in Ancient China. This would have meant months of research to adequately portray the world into which the reader is thrust.

Secondly, the young protagonist. A child protagonist is always chall...more

A three inch thick reference book about sea animals will occupy him for hours, but a novel will get scrutiny and a turned up nose. "Too thick, chapters are too long, words (font) are too tiny..."

But it wasn’t just the Chinese culture that struck me as true and genuine, it was also the Dragon culture, which was well thought out and wonderfully blended into the story. While reading I realized just how connected the Chinese culture was with the Dragons. It is almost a case of the chicken and the egg; did the use of gongs and chimes attract dragons to the humans or did the humans seek a way to replicate what they heard come from these majestic creatures? Who knew of qi first? Who first knew of herbs and healing? None of these things are brought up so obviously in the book, but as someone who thinks highly of the idea of the dragons having shared knowledge with humans and having lived among peoples of the past and taught them, these things easily crossed my mind as I was reading.

The story is well thought out from its humble beginning to the ending that isn’t as much of an ending as it is a continuation of life. Our lives aren’t split up into chapters and our memorable moments in time don’t necessarily have sharp, clean endings. A person may lose their job but the story doesn’t stop there. Will they find another one? Will they find themselves in the same line of work as before or has that person learned a lesson that has pointed them on a different path? What will the new job bring? So many books simply end instead of allowing the mind to continue with these questions and I found the end of Dragon Keeper both fitting to the culture of the Dragons and refreshing in it’s final non-resolution. “Who knows how things will end? Perhaps there is no end.”

Dragon Keeper is not only a well planned story, but it is well told. The plot will keep your attention, but it is the attention to details that makes you thirst for even more. I admit to knowing little of Chinese history, but the book seemed well settled in its time period and I found nothing to jostle my mind from the story in that regard. Chinese words and concepts are easily sewn into the story, teaching readers the powers of qi, the mathematics of counting, the geography of an area and its distances or types of money, all without jarring you away from the tale being told. It all comes naturally, even without the dictionary and pronunciation guides at the back, because as Danzai teaches Ping about life beyond slavery, you realize that you heave learned as well.

In fact, the entire story is not just Ping’s journey to learn about herself and her country, it is the story of the reader’s journey as well. While holding the book, you travel the countryside with a girl and a Dragon, share their joys and sorrows, participate in their adventures and reach the ocean with them as they begin new parts of their lives.

If you are a fan of the Neverending Story or DragonHeart, you will probably find yourself as desperate for the rest of the series as I have become. I would also highly recommend this book to anyone who has pet rats, as I found great joy in reading about Ping’s rat, the most honorable Hua.(less)

A or A -. For the most part I really enjoyed this book. It's the sort of fantasy that draws you in and makes you want to be there. For an uncorrected proof copy there were remarkably few spelling or grammar errors, maybe an odd sentence that I thought could be written more clearly, but not too many of those. The book lends itself well to a sequel but doesn't need one. I'm not sure if it's considered a Children's or YA book, but given the level of scattered violence, I'd only recommend it to olde...more

Buku fiksi ini memang luar biasa, mampu mengajak pembaca dalam pengalaman-pengalaman yang tidak bisa dibayangkan sebelumnya sehingga layak untuk mendapatkan berbagai penghargaan tersebut.

Buku ini berkisah tentang Ping –seorang gadis budak- pada zaman Cina Kuno, semasa kekuasaan Dinasti Han. Ping menyelamatkan seekor naga milik Kaisar dan melarikan diri dari tuannya yang jahat. Ping dan naga menempuh perjalanan panjang menuju ke Samudra sambil membawa batu misterius berwarna ungu dengan garis-garis putih. Batu itu sangat berharga sehingga harus dilindungi dari kejaran pemburu naga Diao yang kejam.

Dalam perjuangan untuk menunaikan tugas berat ini, Ping mendapatkan banyak pelajaran berharga – belajar untuk percaya diri, memahami makna sejati keberanian, dan menghargai nilai persahabatan. Berbagai peristiwa menegangkan bahkan yang mengancam jiwa harus ia lalui bersama naga yang menyamar menjadi lelaki tua.

Majalah Kawanku, memberikan sebuah testimoninya di cover belakang buku ini: “Buku ini akan membawa kita kembali ke masa lalu dan menikmati pengalaman menarik di masa Cina Kuno. Mengharukan dan mengajarkan banyak hal tentang arti persahabatan.”

Dari buku ini pula, tiba-tiba aku penasaran dengan makhluk bernama naga. Apakah ia benar-benar ada di dunia ini ataukah hanya semacam mitos, tokoh fiktif yang diciptakan oleh pikiran dan daya khayal manusia? Berbagai informasi yang kudapatkan dari internet mengatakan bahwa ada beberapa peristiwa dimana naga ini benar-benar dilihat, terutama di Cina dan Eropa. Namun, bukti otentik mengenai hal itu belum pernah ada.

Sementara ini aku masih beranggapan bahwa naga seperti yang digambarkan dalam novel-novel ataupun film hanya makhluk khayalan. Namun, rasa penasaranku belum terjawab mengingat mitos tentang naga ini ada hampir di seluruh penjuru dunia. Bahkan, pada alat-alat musik tradisional di Jogja pun sering kudapati ornamen atau ukiran berbentuk naga dari kuningan. Apalagi di Cina, naga ini dianggap makhluk spiritual di samping phoenix, kura-kura, dan qirin.

Yah, apapun itu, novel ini layak untuk dibaca dan dijadikan dongeng untuk anak-anak atau adik-adik kita. Banyak pelajaran berharga di sana…
