Dragonsong

Menolly is feeling like a stranger in her own hall. Her parents just don't understand her love of music they want her to be like other girls and cut bait, gut fish and tend to her chores. When her mentor dies she has no excuse but to do what her parents want. Which is no life that she wants.

Anne McCaffrey was commissioned to write these books for girls and she did a brilliant job.

Reading these books is a joy and a leap frog into more books from this series and from a great writer.
