Ness is on tip-top form here, deftly propelling a complex plot. To help, he hires a Russian blue dragon to clear some fields by burning them: payment, of course, is in gold. Her mother has recently died, and her father is struggling to keep their farm going. The heroine, 16-year-old Sarah, suffers the worst of such prejudices: her parents were in a mixed marriage, and she’s in love with a local Japanese boy. Racist cops patrol the roads, using violence to intimidate the weak. An uneasy human/dragon truce has been in place for hundreds of years, but the community’s distrust of outsiders runs high. The initial setting is 1950s America, against the backdrop of the cold war. I n Patrick Ness’s latest novel, dragons exist, in all their fire-breathing glory.
