Dragonfly

Dragonfly by Julia Golding

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dragonfly is the YA Beehive Book Award winner for 2012, and deservedly so.  This is a book that I can totally recommend to the middle school and older audience.  It has appeal for both boys and girls since we have Princess Taoshira and Prince Ramul as lead characters.  There is plenty of action for the boys (and some girls like me) and a delicate love interest. It begins as Princess Taoshira has a marriage arranged to Prince Ramul of Gerfal, so that the countries can gain allies in the fight against the evil Fergox.  Ramul and Taoshira hate each other when they first meet, but when they are off on a get acquainted horse ride, they are kidnapped.  As they struggle to overcome their situation, a deep bond develops between them. This is good versus evil fantasy at its best.  Highly recommended.
