These were some of the greatest books of my childhood. Ones I turned to again and again. I discovered the first one after it was animated for CBS' Saturday Morning Storybreak series. The cartoon had little to do with the book, but it drew me to the book all the same. And what a book! And the second, and the third, all wowed me.

I read these 10+ years ago. I have the first and third in the series. I am almost positive I read the second. I love them because she wrote the dragons and the humans connections to the dragons so differently. It was very cool.

Man. I read these so long ago that I barely remember what they are about, I just remember reading them! I'm starting to use GoodReads as a place to remember my childhood books.

Britt said," Given'um a 4". They really were a fun set of books; easy reading, fun fantasy and a little different than your average young reader.

Mom read me the fist book & I read the other two on my own (the very first book books I read!) in elementary school. Gotta give them a reread.

In a world of fantasy, were dragons live, the american ideals of freedom, self strength, and independence are explored in an enthroling tale.
