Book Synopsis When Women Were Dragons by : Kelly Barnhill
Download or read book When Women Were Dragons written by Kelly Barnhill. This book was released on 2022-05-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GOODREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A fiery feminist fantasy tale set in 1950s America where thousands of women have spontaneously transformed into dragons, exploding notions of a woman’s place in the world and expanding minds about accepting others for who they really are. "Ferociously imagined…and as exhilarating as a ride on dragonback." —Lev Grossman, bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy "Completely fierce, unmistakably feminist, and subversively funny." —Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry In the first adult novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Ogress and The Orphans, Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alex’s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn’t know. It’s taboo to speak of. Forced into silence, Alex nevertheless must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; and watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden. In this timely and timeless speculative novel, award-winning author Kelly Barnhill boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations. When Women Were Dragons exposes a world that wants to keep women small—their lives and their prospects—and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve.

Book Synopsis Dragon Ever After by : Louisa Masters
Download or read book Dragon Ever After written by Louisa Masters. This book was released on 2021-08-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note to self: You can't teach an old dragon new tricks... he likes to invent his own. After half a century of chaos, my retirement from leading the Community of Species Government has been bliss. No more hellhounds playing pranks. No more snippy demons demanding my attention. No more cajoling money from the wealthy to support the community. Just peace while I avoid my overbearing father and try to work out what my next steps will be. Although... maybe three years of peace is enough. It might even be starting to get... boring. In fact, an adolescent dragon crash-landing on my landlord's shed is just the kind of excitement I need-especially when he brings his species leader to my door. Brandt. Wing leader of all dragons, suave, sexy, and... slightly unhinged. It doesn't take much for him to convince me to give up my solitude and spend some time getting to know him. It's hard to care about the future when I've got a dragon of my own to "play" with. Naked dragon rides for the win, right? But Brandt's the leader of his people, on call for them all the time, and I've left that part of my life behind me. Plus my father insists I should fulfil my duty to the family by getting a nine-to-five job and "marrying well." That's not what I want, but riding herd on a group of beings who fly, breathe fire, and could literally crush me beneath their feet would be a huge challenge, especially since Brandt's kind of loose with rules. It all comes down to how much I want my very own dragon ever after.

Book Synopsis When a Dragon Moves In by : Jodi Moore
Download or read book When a Dragon Moves In written by Jodi Moore. This book was released on 2015-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a beautiful day at the beach, a young boy brings his bucket, shovel, and imagination, and builds a perfect sand castle. Right away, a dragon moves in. The boy decides to befriend his dragon and they spend time roaming the shore, flying a kite, braving the waves, defying bullies, and roasting marshmallows—all while Dad is busy sunbathing and Mom is engrossed in her book. Unfortunately, no one believes the boy when he tries to share the news of this magnificent creature. That's when the mischief begins, and the dragon becomes a force to be reckoned with. While adults will recognize the naughty antics as a ploy for attention, children will dissolve into giggles as the dragon devours every last sandwich, blows bubbles in the lemonade, and leaves claw prints in the brownies. Maybe the dragon really is running amok on the beach, or maybe it's a little boy's imagination that is running wild.
