When teen Anna Strom meets new students Dawa Ngari and Dawa's brother Pemba, she is inexplicably attracted to Pemba, but both he and his sister are interested mostly in Anna's best friend, June. In fact, the two visiting Tibetan students are dragons, and they suspect that June may have something to do with the death of one of their own.
VERDICT This fantasy debut, set in a small town in the Arctic Circle, blends a story of teenage love and heartbreak with a fantasy revolving around a small society of dragons. The Arctic background with its brief summers and interminable winters lends itself well to a fantasy about a culture in danger of becoming frozen in its ways. Suitable for both YA and adult readers, this unusual fantasy should appeal to fans of dragon tales.
