Dragon Drums

By Anne McCaffrey

When his boy soprano voice begins to change, Piemur is drafted by Masterharper Robinton to help with political work and is sent on missions that lead him into unusual and sometimes dangerous adventures. 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.
