I was told to read Seraphina a long time ago by a student who is an avid reader. I have no idea why I waited so long. In fact, I was able to suggest it to another student this week and she is hooked! A dragon/human treaty has made sure that the war between the two entities is no longer. But when a young girl, Seraphina, finds that she is a product of dragons and humans, her loyalties are split. With her unusual talents and friends she begins to trust, she and a soon-to-be prince try to figure out who is going to sabotage the royal visit of the lead dragon. Artfully written with much adventure as well as scenes sure to produce empathy for the unusual race of dragons, this is a great book for all ages.
