This was probably the best book I've ever read. It's a story told from the point of view of a young dragon named Auron who must learn to survive on his own as a hatchling. As he grows into an adult dragon, he faces many dangers and makes many unlikly friends. This is just the first book in the series. The next two books go into telling the story of Auron's sister and outcast brother. I highly recommend anyone who loves dragons to read this book, you won't be disapointed.
