Synopses & Reviews
For centuries, the world of Pern has faced a destructive force known as Thread. But the magnificent dragons who've protected this world and the men and women who ride them are dwindling.
As fewer dragons ride the winds and destruction falls from the sky, fifteen-year-old Menolly holds one dream only: 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. Menolly runs away and happens upon nine fire lizards that could possibly save her world...and change her life forever.
Synopsis
On holiday in Cornwall, the three Drew children discover an ancient map in the attic of the house that
they are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that -- the key
to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. And in searching
for it themselves, the Drews put their very lives in peril.
