What this book is about
The second Harper Hall novel follows Menolly as she adjusts to life as one of the Harper Hall's few female harpers. McCaffrey navigates the social politics of a rigid institution with warmth and specificity; Menolly's fire lizards cause chaos and delight, while the question of whether she truly belongs continues to haunt her. One of Pern's most beloved novels, appropriate for all ages.
