This is one of those easy reads that takes me away to Pern and envelopes me in the story. When I was a teenager I read this book called Island of the Blue Dolphins and I feel that Anne channeled that book writing this one.
Enter Menolly. She lives in a seahold off the coast and dreams of becoming a harper. Those dreams are dashed when she is injured and her father forbids her from becoming one. Menolly runs away and finds a batch of firelizards about to hatch. Fearing for their life, she keeps them from escaping a cave into the danger Thread falling outside. 9 imprint on her and she teaches them to sing. Her life isn't so lonely anymore and her amazing little friends open a new world to her so thought was lost.
Ok so not my best description but this book is so worth the read. While part of the Pern series and the first book in a triliogy it can be read as a standalone.
Pick it up, borrow it but def read it.
