Captain Will Laurence sealed his destiny when
he intercepted a French frigate and its precious
cargo—an unhatched egg that would give birth
to the noble dragon he named Temeraire.
Now China has discovered that its rare gift has
fallen into British hands and vows to reclaim
the remarkable beast, but Laurence refuses to
cooperate. Facing the gallows for his defiance,
he has no choice but to accompany Temeraire
back to the Far East. The long voyage, fraught
with peril and intrigue, will only strengthen the
magical bond between them.

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension
to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise
to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not
aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of
fighting dragons. When HMS Reliant captures
French frigate Amitié and seizes its precious
cargo—an unhatched dragon egg, a gift from
the Chinese Emperor to Napoleon Bonaparte—
fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his
seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an
unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary
creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the
Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire,
he will face a crash course in the daring tactics
of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-
borne forces rally to breach British soil in
Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and
Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of
fire.

Las verdaderas confesiones de
Charlotte Doyle
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
History, Traveling, Feelings and Emotions,
Adventure
8–12
A vicious captain, a mutinous crew—and a
young girl caught in the middle.
“Not every thirteen-year old girl is accused of
murder, brought to trial, and found guilty. But I
was such a girl, and my story is worth relating
even if it did happen years ago. Be warned,
however, this is no Story of a Bad Boy, no What
Katy Did. If strong ideas and action offend you,
read no more. Find another companion to share
your idle hours. For my part I intend to tell the
truth as I lived it.”
Avi is the Award-Winning author of more than
sixty books, including Crispin: The Cross of
Lead, a Newbery Medal winner. First published
in 1990, The True Confessions of Charlotte
Doyle is one of his most acclaimed works.
