First Test |
Keladry is the first girl to apply to train as a knight in Tortall,
since it was made possible ten years previously. However, the training
master is against the idea, and insists that she must be on probation
for the first year – a restriction which is never placed on boys. Most
of the boys resent her, and a few set out to make her life so
uncomfortable that she will leave. A knight’s training is difficult
enough without all this, but Kelrady is determined to succeed. |

Sabine |
Josh has a younger sister called Molly and a baby brother who was born too soon and needs a lot of care. His only real friend has moved away, and he is being bullied, so when a girl in his class tells him about an internet site where he can adopt a virtual pet, he decides to try it out. Unfortunately the baby dragon he adopts does not stay in the virtual world of the computer. This causes Josh a great deal of worry as he needs to make sure she is fed and looked after properly and kept out of mischief. He finds he has to rely on help from Molly, who seems to understand the dragon a lot better than he does. He also begins to understand why his little brother is taking up so much of his parents’ time. |
