Reeve (author of one of our recent favorites in the teen section, Fever Crumb) has a thrilling new adventure for ages 9 and up.  No Such Thing as Dragons is a classic hero's quest, with great old-fashioned storytelling, gorgeous language, and new ways of thinking about good vs. evil.

Ansel, unable to talk since his mother's death years ago, is sold by his greedy father into the service of Brock, a charismatic dragon-hunting knight.  But no one has ever seen a live dragon, and Brock may not be what he claims.  Is Brock a hero or a fraud?  Is there really no such thing as dragons?  You'll have to read to find out! ~Tegan
