Gr. 6-12. Book one of a three-part graphic-novel series based on Dragonflight from McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, this is a successful adaptation of the first part of that novel. Lessa, sole survivor of the noble Ruathan hold, plots to regain her birthright and finds her place as Weyrwoman to the golden dragon, Ramoth. The colors in the artwork are muted for the most part, individuals are carefully limned, and the paintings and dialogue (both spoken and internal) work well together. A welcome addition to the McCaffrey canon; may books two and three not be long in following. (Reviewed Sept. 1, 1991)1560600748Sally Estes
Library Journal Review
The planet Pern has been colonized for centuries by humans. When humans first settled on this world, they did not take notice of its sister planet, which had an indigenous life form that attempted to land on Pern when it came within reach. These silver ``threads'' fell in a destructive wave on the temperate lands of Pern once every 200 years, destroying all life they encountered. To combat this menace, the inhabitants of Pern developed a species of dragon that could burn these threads out of the sky before they touched down. Now, centuries have passed between threadfalls, and the danger of thread is considered a myth. However, a dragon rider named F'lar knows that the riders are once again needed. This fine production is recommended wherever McCaffrey ( Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern , Audio Reviews, LJ 9/15/93) is popular.-- Roxanna Herrick, Washington Univ. Lib., St. Louis (c) Copyright 2010.
