I’ve read several of Ms. Durst’s books which are listed
below. I have enjoyed everyone of
them. I particularly like this one as it
is a youth focused book. Mina is quiet
and has not found her voice. She and
Pixit, her lightning dragon discover that their idyllic existence may be based
on the suffering of others.
Durst does a super job expressing the unease and
insecurities of a young girl. Many
children feel inadequate or up to their tasks.
Durst shows that reticence and quietness are not shortcomings but just
traits. Traits that do not have to
define your existence. In the book she
shows Mina’s growth and how you can maintain your identity and break out of
your shell simultaneously.
Mina’s care for not only those like her but for those who
seem totally foreign demonstrates that accepting others, hearing their voices
and acting in support of their needs is exemplary.
This is a good book to read, regardless of your age.
I highly recommend.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
