  <default_description>Elana, a member of an interstellar civilization on a mission to a medieval planet, becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion. How can she help the Andrecians, who still believe in magic and superstition, without revealing her own alien powers? At the same time, Georyn, the son of an Andrecian woodcutter, knows only that there is a dragon in the enchanted forest, and he must defeat it. He sees Elana as the Enchantress from the Stars who has come to test him, to prove he is worthy. One of the few science fiction books to win a Newbery Honor, this novel will enthrall teenage and adult readers.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[10/09 - Newberry Honor book, written in 1970 and recently re-published.  Definitely young adult in content - lots of foreshadowing and teen feelings expressed.  Good ideas on the steps of development of civilizations the ethics of intervention of a less developed race by a more developed race.

    <body><![CDATA[What seperates this Newberry Honor book from typical YA fantasy is that it's bridging genres--it's told from the perspectives of three very different characters.  One character lives in a feudal society that believes a dragon is lurking at the edge of the forest, one is from the society who has inva...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18272825">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a book that will change the way you view civilization, technological advances, and your own conceptions of progress. My husband and I listened to a recorded version of it on a long trip. It sparked some fascinating discussions. I've read it several times as well.

    <body><![CDATA[I first read this book when I was in the sixth grade, and it changed my life. Not only was this the first science fiction story I'd ever read, it was my introduction to the idea that where you come from shapes how you see and interpret the world.<br/><br/>The story is presented as an intersection ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36567409">more...</a>]]></body>
