I read The Ice Dragon by George R.R Martin. The main character is a girl named Adara. Adara was born on one of the coldest days of the winter, so her skin is colder than other kids. Adara loves the ice dragon because it brings the winter. She first rode it when she was five. The book is mainly about the friendship between The  Ice Dragon and Adara. The setting of the book is in a small town where Adara lives, on her father’s farm.

Adara thinks the ice dragon was meant for her because it came the day she was born. A part that I thought was interesting was when you find out how she first rides on the ice dragon because I liked how it made her feel so happy because usually she was so sad and lonely. Another thing I found interesting was that everybody in the town is afraid of the ice dragon, but Adara is really good friends with the ice dragon because she is a winter child. I think she is not very close to her family because her mom died the day she was born so when her dad touches her it reminds him of the day Adara’s mom died. I think Adara is very brave because when she was young a nail went through her foot and she did not even cry. I think Adara is kind because everyone is trying to stop the ice dragon, but she is friends with it. I think Adara is calm because she never makes a fuss about anything. I think this because when she got hurt by the nail she didn’t start yelling or screaming.

I liked this book because it is fiction, and I like reading fiction. I also like it because it has a lot of action and adventure. I recommend this book because it is very fast. I also recommend it because it is very exciting. I think the book Dragon Rider is similar because it also has dragons in it. I would rate it four stars.
