Ember and the ice dragons

Heather Fawcett

Even the darkest stars, 3

Ember St. George is a dragon. At least she was before her adoptive father, a powerful but accident-prone Magician, turned her into a human girl. Ember's tendency to burst into flames, not to mention her invisible wings, make it too dangerous for her to stay in London so she is sent to her aunt's research station in frigid Antarctica. Ember quickly feels at home in a land of ice storms, mischievous penguins, and twenty-four-hour nights. She even makes friends with a girl genius called Nisha and a mysterious orphan named Moss. But Antarctica is home to the Winterglass Hunt, a yearly tradition in which rare ice dragons are hunted for their jeweled scales. Furious, Ember decides to join the hunt to sabotage it from the inside. But being an undercover dragon isn't easy, especially among dragon hunters. Can a twelve-year-old fire dragon survive the dangers that come her way in the Antarctic wilderness and protect the ice dragons from extinction
