Dragon's Milk
Dragon's Milk is a fantasy novel by Susan Fletcher. The novel, told through a third person narrator, is about a girl named Kaeldra. I liked that she has found herself caring for three dragons and being pursued by a dragon slayer, town folk, and the king. Does Kaeldra get the baby dragons back to their own kind? Kaeldra is a girl who first lost her mom and then her dad when he was killed in a war. Kaeldra is a very different girl compared to the ones in the town of Elytha. She is unusual due to her green eyes in contrast with other girls who have brown eyes. Her green eyes developed in ancestors who drank dragon's milk. This book is an interesting choice for fantasy fans, like myself, who find dragons fascinating and like an adventure in which characters choose to trust someone or not, with their love. This is a fast paced book with dragons, life and death battles, and characters who accept responsibility.

This was a really good book, even though it was short. It was a touching story and different from other dragon books I've read. I wish there was more than three books in the series, but out of all of them this is my favorite.

Read this heart touching story of a girl that has ties to a dragon and her draclings!
In this book is not really a ordinary girl. Some people belive she is from the other side of the mountain. The people over there have ties with the last bit of dragons. She has to protect the last of all baby draclings.
But will she succeed in saving the draclingsfor being used for stuff and huge amount of money.
I think the theme is to tell myths and adventure story.
One reason the auther may have written this book. Is that they enjoy reading about dragons and about baby dragons and a adult dragon.

Granmyr's hands shaped the special red clay as it spun round and round on the pottery wheel. Kaeldra saw a mountain forming, a man and woman scaling the sides, and in their arms lay a limp babe. The entrance of a cave appeared, and Kaeldra saw dragon's eyes bright and fierce, she could feel their thoughts touch her mind. Kaeldra, they spoke to her. The mountain collapsed inwardly and she once again saw Granmyr, the red mountain now a normal vase. "Granmyr," Kaeldra questioned, "who was the child?"
"Ah you have seen Kara."
"Who is Kara," Kaeldra asked.
"She was the ancient dragon sayer. She was also, your great grandmother."
Kaeldra had always known that she was unlike her Elythian foster family. She was tall, taller than most of the men at only sixteen. She had wavy chestnut hair, while most villagers of Elythia had hair dark as the crow's feathers. But most unwelcoming were her eyes, green. Those eyes not only separated her from Elythians, they separated her from everyone. Those were the eyes of a dragon sayer.
In this fantasy tale, Dragon's Milk, Kaeldra a young girl at only sixteen must find the courage to help three young baby dragons find their kin before they are slain and sold. Trailed by a murderous merchant, a kingdom, and a dragon slayer, Kaeldra must find it within herself to save the dragons, to fight for what was meant to be.
Susan Fletcher writes the story with flowing ease. There is suspense, fantasy, and fairy tale, all rolled into one outstanding novel. I greatly enjoyed reading this book. It is a definite page-turner, very intriguing, and emotion filled. I think this book is similar to the Two Princesses of Bammare another outstanding read for the fantasy lover.
