Dragon Slayer of Trondheim

review 1: it is with heavy heart that I am shelving this book under "books for teens that deserve praise and attention but books that are too smart and contemporary for my seventh graders to enjoy."While I loved the premise of the carbon-emissions hungry dragons and the, shall we say, revisionist history of Canada and the US, my students aren't savvy enough in content or cultural/historical references to appreciate this kind of humor, and they are too trusting of the universes their characters build around them, anyway.
review 2: A cleverly written witty urban fantasy, dragons inhabit modern day Toronto and 16 year old Owen Thorskard is the nephew of the most famous dragon slayer Lottie Thorskard. After her career ending accident, the family relocates to small town Ontar... moreio. There, Owen meets classmate Siobhan and she is recruited to be his bard, giving the novel its storytelling quality with beautiful musical allegories. Recommended for fans of How to Train your Dragon. less
