Staff Pick of the Week: Dragon's Keep


This week's pick is Dragon's Keep by Janet Lee Carey (YA CAREY).


All her life Rosalind has lived under the shadow of a secret: only her mother knows that hidden beneath her golden left glove is a dragon's claw. Her mother has done everything in her power to ensure the talon remains hidden, and has sought healers throughout the land to cure Rosie. But even her mother, the queen of Wilde Island, cannot keep Rosie's secret safe from the dragon that haunts their land, nor hide her shame of her daughter's mark. Perhaps only with the dragon will Rosie gain true acceptance and find out who she's meant to be.
