Anya And The Dragon Is Sort Of A Weird Book But It Is Very Good And I Like It And I Love It So Much

Review by ELSK

Anya is just an ordinary Jewish girl living in Russia. So, when her life as she knows it is threatened, naturally she has to do something about it. Except, Anya doesn’t know that it’s going to involve dragon hunting. Eventually, she must figure out what to do so that everyone is safe. But she struggles along the way. Join Anya as she embarks on a mission to make friends, keep safe, protect lives, and of course, save her family. I recommend this enthralling story to anyone who likes fantasy or historical fiction, fans of dragons, or really just anybody who likes to read. PS. There’s a sequel!

Eleven-year-old Anya and her family are the only Jews in the village. When the magistrate gives her mother a month to pay a huge sum or lose their home, Anya joins forces with her new friend Ivan and his family of magic users. They promise her a share of the reward the tsar will pay to the person that kills the last dragon in the region, but things are more complicated than they seem. Ultimately, Anya must decide whether to save her family or her friends.
