Dude, Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher was my very first fantasy novel EVAR. It holds a special place in my heart.

It was also the first book to make me cry, although that WAS the book-on-tape version and the voice actors were particularly good at it, so the ending was fairly emotional.

(You might enjoy the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik, if you liked JT,DH.)

Also: Yay Wee Free Men.

That is all. I have nothing else of value to provide.
