Dragon Keeper
by Carole Wilkinson
This story is the first book out of the three series of book it has.
It is about an unnamed chinese girl who had been sold by her parents when she was a baby to a brutal master who was the Imperial Dragonkeeper, Master Lan. She is the slave of Master Lan and is always asked to do things by his commands. He was bad-tempered and was always cold to her, and in the book it was mentioned, the only time he would smile was when he was laughing at her stupidity. As he was the Dragonkeeper, he was the one who is meant to be the one looking after the dragons, instead, because of his laziness, he asked the chinese slave girl do the work for him.
The time the main characters, the Dragon and the girl had met was when the dragon was about to be slaughtered, she heard a voice in her mind. Through the dragon, she found her name which was Ping, and the Dragon's name being Long Danzi. The Dragon trains her as an Imperial Dragonkeeper, and as she was not educated, she learnt her language by the dragon's help.
They face danger when they try to escape from the isolated area. They come across adventures too and meet knew people and Ping learns new skills as a Dragonkeeper.
Overall, this story is a fantasy and an adventure book. It is recommended to intermediate level and juniors in the high school range. It is quite a nice story and the descriptions and details compliment on the story.
