  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch. But that doesn't matter--the villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon.&lt;br&gt;	It's late, it's cold, and it's raining, and Alys can think of only one thing--revenge. But first she's got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone?&lt;br&gt;	Then the dragon arrives--a dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect ally. . . .&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

I love, love, love Selendrile, and I wish I could meet someone like him! The story is compelling, but not too long, and luckily it doesn't have a sequel.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a fun, quick read--I'd definitely recommend it. I especially liked how the author took Puritanical witch trials and set it in a world that was 98% 17th century New England and 2% fantasy (that 2% being mostly on account of the dragon).

    <body><![CDATA[Another nice book by Vande Velde. She writes fantasy and supernatural Young adult fiction, mostly female protagonists. Little bit of romance, but mainly adventure. She writes strong, interesting heroines and has a nice sense of humor. Not quite as good as Patricia Wrede, but in a similar vein.

    <body><![CDATA[A fast read.  Very engaging yarn.  I was sad to see the story end; I wanted more!  I want to know what happens next.  <br/><br/>Sidenote: Vivian Vande Velde has a knack for writing characters that might look human but retain their non-human traits regardless.  If you enjoy this skill of hers, chec...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66773867">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really, really liked the idea. It was very original. Selendrile and Alys were both very vivid and interesting characters, especially Selendrile. But, this wasn't the best written. I think that if it had been taken up by a better author, then this book would have been amazing.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a quick read. I really enjoyed most of it, though the whole idea of revenge was bothersome. I was pleased when revenge did not turn out to be as the main character thought it would be. I was a little disappointed with the ending because I still had a lot of questions about dragons. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun hour-and-a-half read - a nice relief after &quot;The Candy Shop War.&quot; It was a pretty mainstream fantasy but it had some interesting twists that made it unique and very enjoyable. It wasn't the kind of book that stays with you forever, but it was a fun way to pass an evening.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a wonderful story!   I've read it through three times but I've reread my favorite bits countless times.  The heroine is faced with difficult choices and the issue of revenge and a fantastically intriguing dragon offering both paths - good and evil.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I remember reading this way back in middle school. An odd read, to be sure. Might have to dig it out someday and see if it retains the strange sense of humor about dragon legends. ]]></body>
