![]() ![]() ![]() The plot is stuffed full of action, and poor Allyson not only struggles with her new-found dragonness, but fights off all sorts of creatures who are out to get her. Her character is sympathetic from beginning on, and her shock about life unfolding around her is a delight to experience right along with her. Not much time is spent on getting to know Allyson first, but it's not necessary. Within the first pages, a normal, teenage shopping mall excursion turns into an attempted kidnapping with dragons and trolls. Allyson is just about to turn fifteen and has never given a second thought to fairy tales or anything of their kind, but when she spits fire and grows scales, her eyes are opened. Fantastical creatures-unicorns, dragons, trolls, and so many others-live among us but look so human, no one except for their kind can tell the difference. This is a modern day fantasy, grounded in the every day world as we know it. ![]() Although I loved the cover on this one, after I read the blurb, I wasn't sure I'd like it or not.but since I already had it, I figured I might as well give it a go. ![]()
