Synopsis

A classic fantasy with terrific girl power (and chocolate), perfect for fans of Shannon Hale and Jessica Day George. Aventurine is a brave young dragon ready to explore the world outside of her family's mountain cave … if only they'd let her leave it. Her family thinks she's too young to fly on her own, but she's determined to prove them wrong by capturing the most dangerous prey of all: a human. But when that human tricks her into drinking enchanted hot chocolate, she's transformed into a puny human without any sharp teeth, fire breath, or claws. Still, she's the fiercest creature in these mountains—and now she's found her true passion: chocolate. All she has to do is get to the human city to find herself an apprenticeship (whatever that is) in a chocolate house (which sounds delicious), and she'll be conquering new territory in no time … won't she?

Wow, this is going to be a great rec for girl-centered YA fantasy. On the page, it's written as having completely no romance, but it has great potential for f/f subtext with at least two different characters -- three if you absolutely push it. (And yes, I mean at the level appropriate to the charact......more

From the first pages the character of Aventurine gave me anime vibes - specifically, she behaved in my mind like those anime characters with a cutest pout, which was enough to put a smile on my face. And Jasper also reminded me of someone I haven't figured out yet... The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart......more
