The White Dragon
Lord Jaxom and his extraordinary dragon Ruth had many talents though Pern though he was a runt. So they trained in secret. Her books have become science fiction classics and have "impressed" young adult readers for 30 years. Although set in imaginary worlds, McCaffrey's focus on the personal and emotional need of human beings mirrors the quest of today's teens to find their own place in society.
