Dragon’s Blood is the first book in the Pit Dragon Chronicles series. The story follows a boy named Jakkin who is working in Sarkkhan’s dragon nursery. Jakkin has plans to steal a baby dragon so that he can train him to fight and earn him enough money to buy himself out of bond.

Jane Yolen’s The Devil’s Arithmetic sees a girl named Hannah who dreads going to her family’s Passover Seder. She is tired of hearing her relatives talk about the past, but she soon learns to understand the effects of the Holocaust. Hannah opens the front door to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, but finds herself transported to a Polish village in the year 1942.
