The first in a series of stories about dragons. It tells of four new dragon riders encountering their dragons for the first time - a process which is not always a happy one. Poor Nolita is terrified of dragons and heights so learning to ride her day dragon is a nightmare.
Worse still, there is a dragon hunter chasing them. It is Nolita's task to conquer her fears and to find the first of the four Orbs, whose combined power can save the leader of all dragonkind. If the riders are not successful - the Guardian will die. Entertaining, well written and a thoroughly good story.
This is guaranteed to keep older children reading - there is a compulsive nature to the story, you just have to keep going until the end is reached. Then comes the disappointment - you have to wait for the next book to appear before finding out whether other dragons and their riders are successful in the quest. Hurry up Mark - everyone wants to know!
