kale Is An O'rant/slave With A Gift For Finding Highly Prized Dragon Eggs In The Fantasy World Of Amara. This Gift Takes The Insecure Young Girl Out Of Bondage And Into A Tolkien-esque Adventure Filled With Odd Creatures (her Dak Is The Spitting Image Of A Hobbit) And, Of Course, A Quest. Since The Book Is A Product Of The Burgeoning Christian Fundamentalist Market, The Ultimate Purpose Of The Quest Is To Find God (wuldar) Through The Earthly Christ-figure, Paladin. This Leads One To Wonder How Kale's Continual Theft Of Eggs Is Morally Condoned . . . . However, There's Lots Of Adventure Along The Way In The Bogs And Caves Of Amara, A Peninsular Kingdom Which Just Happens To Have A Remarkable Resemblance To Tamara Pierce's Medieval Tortalla Fixture Of The Fantasy Universe For Some Time. Through The Assistance Of Her Healing And Singing Minor Dragons, As Well As A Timely Cure-all Cloak, Kale Perseveres And Is Ultimately Chosen To Join The Elect. 2004, Waterbrook/random House, Ages 10 To 14.
