Publisher's summary

Ancient China, Han Dynasty. A slave girl saves the life of an ageing dragon and escapes her brutal master. Pursued by a ruthless dragon hunter, the girl and the dragon make an epic journey across China carrying a mysterious stone that must be protected. This is the story of a young slave girl who believes she is not worthy of a name but finds within herself the strength and courage to make this perilous journey — and do what must be done.

Wonderful books for 4th graders - Adults

The Narrator was very good but I wish it was an Asian narrator instead.

Dragonkeeper Series is an absolute gem!

My son is fascinated with dragons and what better that a series that revolves around a girl's relationship with a dragon? Both my children ages 10 and 12 fell in love with this story and could not wait to get into the car to listen to the next instalment. They loved it so much that we listened to the second and third book immediately afterwards. A must-listen to audible for anyone with children!

Bolinda has my favorite audiobook production

Before this I've listened to the Deltora Quest series and I was super pleased with those. However I SO wish they were read by this narrator instead. I love her Australian accent and how she puts inflection into the characters without taking you out of the story.

loved the book

writing the story through the perspective of ping was one of my favorite aspects of the book as well as the situational examples of wise Confucian sayings
