Scorched

Scorched by Mari Mancusi, 343 pages


Trinity’s grandfather has discovered what he believes is a dragon’s egg.  Since he runs a museum, he is very excited.  Trinity is, of course, skeptical, at best.  The museum isn’t making any money and she is afraid that the state may take her away from her grandfather and put her in a home.  Imagine her surprise when she finds out that her grandfather is right.  The egg is a dragon’s egg and people have come back from the future, some to help her an others to kill her.  Unfortunately, she isn’t sure who to trust,  Connor, who claims he is there to save the world or his twin Caleb, who says Connor is here to kill her.  If she decides to trust the wrong people it could either mean her death or the end of the world.  This was a pretty decent new fantasy story for young adults.  It’s a little melodramatic in some parts, but overall a fun read.  Teens who like dragon stories will probably enjoy this book.
