I recommend this book to people who really like fantasy books that are more realistic fiction. This book is really action packed and full of heart and I really liked it!

The ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.
Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child--and the ice dragon who loved her--could save her world from utter destruction.

I love this book. It is about a girl named Adara she was born on the worst freeze anyone could remember. The freeze was so bad that people still talked about it, they also talked about how it killed Adara's mother. As Adara's mom was suffering from the cold, the freeze went in Adara making her a winter child. Adara's favourite season was winter. She was the only one that was able to hold an ice lizard where as if a normal kid where to touch an ice lizard, it would instantly melt. Adara loved the ice lizards but what she loved even more was the ice dragon!!!
