DRAGON'S EGG By Sarah L.Thomson

Small dragons, large dragons, and some in between, Mella Evasdaughter knows them all in the book Dragon’s Egg by Sarah L. Thomson. Mella is an ordinary girl who picks dragon eggs every morning for the Inn where she lived, but when she is left to save a dragon egg she takes a journey and has many adventures. She accompanied by Roger the squire. To know what happened along the journey you have to read the book, but my favorite part was when Mella and Robert were kidnapped. They had been kidnapped by a cruel, lying, man named Alain, but Mella and Robert were both worried about the egg more than themselves because of the fact that it had to be put in fire every night or it would die. After Alain warned them that he was a light sleeper and fell asleep, Mella and Robert started to gnaw at the cord tying their wrists together. Mella and Robert were doing very well until the sound of dragons woke him up. He noticed that Robert was gnawing at the cord so he reacted by tightly tying his wrists together behind his back. The dragons around them attacked Alain causing him to get bitten on the hand and behind his knee and gave Mella and Robert a chance to escape. Once the dragons had left, Mella and Robert burned everything he was selling (which was all stolen) and then hit him in the head with a wooden board causing him to fall unconscious and was then tied with his injuries were wrapped in cloth. Mella and Robert had a lot of endurance, so I would recommend it to people who want to find out what happened to the egg.
