Kibbie wanted to ckeck out some books about dragon and my mind drew a complete bland other than enchanted forest books. Doese any one have any sugestions for her, something in the young adult range. She did get Moreta's ride.

You could try Dragon Rider or Eragon? Both are good. I will check my library and list a few more later on.

I'd recommend more McCaffrey
and you know what should be ideal for someone her age.. the three books by Elizabeth Kerner! (who is actually a member of this board). I'm sure she will love them! SONG IN THE SILENCE THE LESSER KINDRED REDEEMING THE LOST they are published by Tor (in affordable paperback editions, too) and can even be purchased online at Elizabeth's own site: www.elizabethkerner.com

Maw, I second the recommendation for Elizabeth Kerner's books. And I'd also recommend The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley. They're not dragon books (the first has none, the second has evil dragons), but they are really good fantasy books that I would be shocked if she didn't like.

If she want's something dragonish but very lighthearted try "How to Train Your Dragon by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III" (translated from the Old Norse by Cressida Cowell).
It includes such characters as Dogsbreath the Duhbrain. It's aimed at 11/12 year olds.

OH lovely,Thank you Hans, I just went to Elizabeth's site and after reading her Biography I just had to go and buy one of her books..."Song in the Silence"!!! Right after I finish Mercedes Lackey's "Jouster" series(which is fantastic by the way)...I will be more than happy to start in with Elizabeth's books, and let her and you all know how they read!!!

Bruce Coville is a YA author whose writing is AMAZING. I'd recommend the Magic Shop Books:
Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher Jennifer Murdley's Toad The Skull of Truth Juliet Dove, Queen of Love Also the Unicorn Chronicals (these have dragons too!): Into the land of the Unicorns Song of the Wanderer And the Rod Allbright books: Aliens Ate My Homework I Left My Sneakers in Dimension X The Search For Snout Aliens Stole My Body And finally: My Teacher is an Alien My Teacher Fried My Brains My Teacher Glows in the Dark My Teacher Flunked the Planet Any of his short story collections and anthologies are good too. I loved these books when I was her age, I love them now. I reread them all the time. Seriously. All adults can take these recommendations as well.

Teacher flunked the planet!!! I remember that one! Is it bad for a 21 yr old to get nostalgia? O.o
Anyway, I don't remember dragons, but the Magician series by Jenny Nimmo is the books I've been looking for for years and I suggest them. The Snow Spider Emlyn's Moon The Chestnut Soldier |

Has she read Marry Stewart? I know she wrote A Walk in Wolf Wood, which I really liked. She also wrote the Arthurian saga, but I haven't read those. I'm sure Kibbie has a stack a mile high by now though. (-;

I would probably leave the Arthurian saga until she's just a bit older.

Ooh, yes, Tamora Pierce is an excellent author. I especially liked Song of the Lioness (I think it's three books in one).

Thank for the ideas, righ now she is reading a series called cat warriors. Which has no dragons, magic or anything and is about cats. I have read them and they are good. There are not a whole lot of books yet and she is reading about 3 a week, becaause I won't let her check out more than that. If I do all she wants to do is read & not get ANY school work done.
