![]() ![]() Red Kenny and her friends’ spring break road trip veers off course when they are detained by a sniper. ![]() Once the action gets going-the military is moving in on Dragon, the dragons are gearing up for war, people are getting killed and only Kay and Artegal (the dragon) have any hope of averting disaster-this is a fast-paced read sadly, it takes way too long to get there and any real payoff is saved for later volumes. Meanwhile, she’s trying to decide whether she should sleep with her so-nice-he’s-boring boyfriend and discussing her virginity ad infinitum with best friend Tam. ![]() But Kay does, accidentally, and ends up friends with a teen dragon. Humans and dragons never cross the border. Kay Wyatt lives in a town that borders Dragon, where the dragons have stayed since their re-emergence, the ensuing war with humanity and the current Cold War–style standoff. What is it about dragons in the western United States (Robin McKinley’s Dragonhaven, 2007, and, to a lesser extent, Patricia Wrede’s Thirteenth Child, 2009), and when will someone figure out how to make these stories really soar? First in a series, Vaughn’s YA debut delivers an interesting premise but doesn’t follow through. ![]()
