Dragonsdale is an absolute darling find!! It is about a sweet, kind girl named Cara and her father Huw, the Dragonmaster, who along with some lovable characters, run a dragon stable which teaches girls to ride dragons. Cara's life long dream is to be able to ride a dragon, which is forbidden by her father. She has to work with them daily, feed them and muck out their stalls, and now has to help train a boy named Drane who has no interest in riding at all. Imagine, someone’s who father makes him work around dragons and he has no desire to ride them!

Cara has a way with most of the dragons in the stable. One dragon in particular has been impossible with most of the trainers, his name is Skydancer. Cara and Skydancer develop a Trustbond, although she still hasn’t ridden him, she takes care of him, and talks to him daily. Still dreaming of the day when she could possibly take him for a ride. No one else has tamed him and she feels certain in her heart that she could, if only her father would allow it.

Cara's life is hard enough being around dragons and not being able to fly, but her life becomes almost unbearable when she is tormented by a mean spirited, rich child named Hortense. For anyone who has loved a pet, been tormented by a bully or had parents who didn't understand her, you will be able to relate to Cara. It would be a great book for bedtime stories if you broke it into one chapter a night. I give it 5 magical stars out of 5!

Dragonsdale is the perfect combination of horse stories and fantasies. This time, the stables that girls dream of being filled with beautiful ponies is filled with awe-inspiring dragons. Cara is the daughter of the Dragonmaster, the head of Dragonsdale. The one thing she wants more than anything else in the world is to ride one of those dragons that she cares for. However, she's forbidden to do the one thing she wants most because her mother was killed while riding a dragon.

As Cara works caring for the dragons with all her friends, she develops a wonderful devotion to the most uncontrollable of all the dragons named Skydancer. But the nastiest girl of all, Hortense, decides that Skydancer will be hers, alone to ride in the upcoming championship.

Dragonsdale contains plenty of tension with some very well-drawn characters. It's very clear who is the heroine and who is the villain, and wondering what the outcome will be keeps the pages turning for grade school readers.

Dragonsdale is a stable full of dragons to ride. A girl named Cara likes a dragon that she secretly rides. Cara is not allowed to ride dragons. One day her father lets her ride Skydancer after watching her ride in a show. Cara and Skydancer are finally happy.
Dragonsdale is the best! I was telling my mom about it until she got tired(because she had already read it). I was so afraid Hortense would get Skydancer! I could not put this book down. It is very good for both kids and adults. I am an 8 year old girl and I was really captivated by it. Horse lovers will also enjoy this book. I have two horses and the idea of riding made me want to read it. I found out riding dragons is almost the same as riding horses with a few differences of course! This is a book to definitely keep on your shelf!

All her life, Cara has dreamed of riding a dragon. Her father will not allow it, for her mother died in an unfortunate dragon training accident just before Cara was due to start learning how to train and fly the magnificent beasts. Ever since his wife's death, Huw, the Dragonmaster of Dragonsdale, has forbidden his only child from even mounting a dragon.

Instead, Cara works around Dragonsdale. As one of the premier training farms on the island of Bresal, there is much to be done, and Cara cleans out the dragons' stalls and assists the riders with grooming their dragons. All the while, she dreams of being able to fly on one herself. She even has one in mind--Skydancer, a wild Goldenbrow who has been notoriously hard to tame.

As the Island Championships draw closer, Cara becomes more and more envious of the dragon riders, particularly Hortense, the High Lord of Seahaven's daughter. Hortense expects Cara to care for the dragon she rides, but gets the pleasure and honor of riding him herself. The tension between Cara and Hortense escalates as the competition grows closer and cumulates with Hortense convincing her father to purchase Skydancer from Dragonsdale.

Hortense's rough methods do not mesh well with Skydancer's fiery personality and suddenly there is a very real danger that Skydancer's wings will be clipped, grounding him forever. It is up to Cara to find a way to save him--without her father discovering that she is learning to fly.

Fantasy fans will enjoy this book with its rich world and well-developed characters. Cara is a charming heroine and the dragons are absolutely delightful.

Readers will hold their breath as Cara rides Skydancer through the challenging course in the Island Championships and clench their fists at Hortense's antics. They will wish they could scratch a dragon's crest or help weigh a squirming dragonet. And while they do so, they'll absorb some good lessons about caring for others and the right way to treat people.

Armchair Interviews says: This is a promising start to what is sure to be a wonderful series.

The theme of this book is rebbellion because one of characters named Cara did something she wasn't supposed to do. The theme is shown because she was forbiddenend by her father to never ever ride a dragon but she does it anyway. So far I do not know if the theme is important or not .I would highly recommend that you do not do this.
