Blast from the past

Loved revisiting a childhood favorite. A wizard named nell is a definite good time when like looking for a feel good high fantasy. The characters are simple and likab

I love these characters!

This is a sweet story. The descriptions are such that it transports you to a world full of dragons and Night Things. The characters have depth and the story moves along so that it keeps you interested every step of the way.

Popular premise and themes; age-appropriate

As for the Dragon theme, it is a good primer for Dragon series by Kate Klimo and by Cressida. The girl-challenges-male rules genre is popular, and its a good place to begin. It is definitely an easier listen than Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld and Alanna by Tamora Pierce.
