Dragonsong -- Anne McCaffrey

<b>Fifteen-year-old Menolly allies with magnificent dragons in the first book in the Harper Hall trilogy, set within science fiction legend Anne McCaffrey's beloved and bestselling Dragonriders of Pern series.</b> <p/>For centuries, the world of Pern has faced a destructive force known as Thread. But the number of magnificent dragons who have protected this world and the men and women who ride them are dwindling. <p/>As fewer dragons ride the winds and destruction falls from the sky, Menolly has only one dream: to sing, play, and weave the music that comes to her so easily--she wishes to become a Harper. But despite her great talents, her father believes that a young girl is unworthy of such a respected position and forbids her to pursue her dreams. So Menolly runs away, taking shelter in a cave by the sea. Miraculously, she happens upon nine fire lizards that could possibly save her world...and change her life forever.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne McCaffrey<br><b>Publisher:</b> Aladdin Paperbacks<br><b>Published:</b> 04/01/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.34lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.54h x 5.28w x 0.56d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780689860089<br><b>Age Range:</b> 10-13<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 9<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>6914 / Dragonsong<br>
