The listing, Anne McCaffrey Book, Dragonsong, Brand New has ended.
Book one of the Harper Hall Trilogy. This book was written for younger readers and is recommended for ages 10 to 14, but if you are a scifi or fantasy novel fan, this is a good book no matter how old you are. I ordered this from Amazon for my son and accidentally ordered two, so I am selling the extra on Listia.
From the back cover, "Menolly longs to see a dragon, but even more, she wants to be a Harper - to sing, play, and write the tunes that come so naturally to her. To escape her father's edict of banishment from singing because she is a girl Menolly runs away and seeks refuge in a cave. There she becomes friends with nine fire lizards, small relatives of the huge dragons, and teaches them to sing...McCaffrey uses great imaginative powers in constructing her intricate and intriguing story." - Booklist
