*******************************************************************************
IN A GREAT HALL, A DESTINY UNRAVELS...
When Menolly, daughter of Yanus Sea Holder, arrived at the Harper Craft Hall, she came in style, aboard a huge bronze dragon, followed by her nine fire lizards.
The Masterharper of Pern, aware of her unique skills, had chosen her as his only girl apprentice.
But the holdless girl had first to overcome many heartaches in this strange new life.
Two things sustained her - her devoted lizards, a subject on which she was fitted to instruct her Masters - and the music... music of compelling beauty, music-making where at last she was accepted.
The Dragonriders of Pern series continues in Dragondrums.

Menolly feels torn between whatever she wants to be and do and what her family think she should be and do. A good story for young teens to show them they dont have to fit the mould and encourage them to seek their dreams.
