Mella is a young girl trained as a dragon keeper by her grandmother. Not many people can care for the 'common dragon,' but Mella has the special talent to do so. There are legends about dragons, but are they true? After a knight, who is a dragon defender, and his squire (helper), arrive at the family's inn, a dying dragon entrusts Mella with the task of delivering a dragon's egg to the Hatching Grounds in the Dragontooth Mountains. It is a dangerous journey, undertaken by Mella, and the squire, Roger. Their journey is full of adventures. All dragon lovers should read and enjoy this book with its likeable characters.
