Dragon’s Bait

Vande Velde, Vivian. Dragon’s Bait. Orlando: Magic Carpet Books, 1992. 196 pages. (Fantasy)

The main characters are of Dragon’s Bait Alys was a girl from Saint Toby’s a very hard working girl at that, and selendrile is the dragon that was going to eat her but he was not interested in Alys. The novel takes place in Saint Toby’s, Griswold, and Green Barrel Inn. They both wanted revenge on the person that turned Alys in. Alys was sentenced to death and tied to a pole to be eaten by the dragon, Selendrile, for being a witch. There is one event that struck my eye: Alys had to cut her hair and act like a boy, but the witch realized that she was a girl because her fake boy voice.

I am very likely to read another book by this author because she described every detail fully, She wrote that Selendrile, the dragon, first appeared out of nowhere. Also the great details how its mane was such a lush color of gold. I would also recommend this to a parent because they both like a good fiction book even though they may not know it.
