"The Dragon Seer"
By: Janet McNaughton
“The Dragon Seer” by Janet McNaughton is a truly thought provoking book. The summary is as follows; once a generation someone is chosen for to care for the mystical dragons. Fourteen year old Madoca was a lowly slave until at the Divination ceremony in which she was chosen to be the next Dragon Seer. Her newly acquired position means she must learn the way of the dragon and their magic. Though her powers come through strong she has little control over them. All is not well with the dragons. Their numbers are rapidly decreasing and they face possible annihilation from the Vikings. Not to mention the people are losing faith in the dragons and their age old traditions. What lengths will Madoca go to in order to protect these magnificent creatures?
“The Dragon Seer” shows people what love truly is. It shows us that though something may be hard one can never give up. Along with that amazing message the plot is well planned and exciting. McNaughton really outdid herself from a great preliminary research on the Picts (a group of people who used to live off the coast of Scotland whose history is rather unknown as they relied on verbal means to pass history on) to an impressive storyline. This book has many dynamics as well as believable dialogue making it a wonderful book for teens and even adults. It is very thought provoking, making people question how they live now. “The Dragon Seer” is a book everyone should read.
