5.0 out of 5 stars I Felt like I was in The story., February 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon's Milk (Hardcover)

Dragons Milk is one of the best books Ive ever read. Its about a girl named Kaeldra whos sister gets sick and her only cure is dragons milk. Kaeldra is told to go off and return with dragons milk. The only way she could get the milk was to make a deal with the mother dragon Fiora to watch her three draclings while Fiora went off in the night to find food. After Fiora gets killed the draclings are in danger so Kaeldra has to go on a dangerous journey to find a safe place for the draclings. When I read this book I was not able to put it down, I felt as though I was in the book. I was fortunate to have met Susan Fletcher at my school last year.

5.0 out of 5 stars She has green eyes like no other?, April 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: DRAGON'S MILK (Dragon Chronicles) (Paperback)

Kaeldra, the main character of this book, is put to a major decision which will cause her life or death. One she finds out that her foster-sister has a life-taking disease, Kaeldra sets out to find a cure. From her grandma, she finds out that her mother could speak to dragons and she must be able too, because she comes from a long line of dragon-sayers, which are people who can communicate with dragons. Her grandma tells her that dragon's milk is the only thing that can heal Kaeldra's sister.

Dragons, though, do not have the best of tempers. When Kaeldra gets to the lair of the dragon, she may find out she may not have gotten the trait from her mother. What will happen. Will Kaeldra get killed while trying to save her sister? Or will she be one of the only who can talk to dragons?Read this book to either make a heart striking discovery, or a heart killing end.

This book is amazing, and I could not stop reading it. I would have finished it in one day, except I had, amazingly enough, school. So, instead it took me two amazing days which were packed with excitment from this book.

If you like books about dragons, fantasy, or a girl just trying to prove herself worthy of honor, then read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kaeldra and the three draclings, February 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: DRAGON'S MILK (Dragon Chronicles) (Paperback)

This book by Susan Fletcher is about a girl named Kaeldra whose sister is sick with Vermilion Fever. She will die if she doesn't get the cure: dragon's milk. Kaeldra has to earn it from a dragon by watching her draclings while she is out hunting. But one night, she learns that the mother dragon died and she has to take the babies to a place where they won't be killed. The rest of this book you will have to read for yourself. This is an adventure book, but it also has a little bit of sadness and just a little bit that is gross, but it is still a very exciting book to read. This is a sixth grade reader that just loves this book. READ THIS BOOK!
