About this deal

Fast forward three years later and her mother has remarried and moved to Hong Kong. Grave attends an international school where she feels like an outcast, but before long, she meets a trio of friends who take her out for a day on the town. Grace meets an old woman selling jewelry who hands her what appears to be a decorative egg of some kind. But when the egg hatches into a bitty blue dragon, Grace realizes she has to keep it safe. When a batch of goons show up, she and her friends race against time to get help. Someone wants the dragon for their own purposes, but our Grace isn't going to let that go down. Auf dem Nachhauseweg wird Grace von einer Gruppe Jugendlicher abgefangen. Sie ziehen sie mit dem Wort Mischling auf und lästern über ihre Eltern. Zu Hause ist Grace verwirrt und berichtet ihrem Vater von dem Vorfall. Dieser tröstet seine Tochter mit einer Geschichte aus lang vergangener Zeit.

Sintara – one of the main protagonists, a blue dragon queen with gleaming copper eyes (Thymara's dragon).Grace has moved to Hong Kong with her new stepdad's job. Grace is still grieving her dad who died of cancer, but she's trying to make the best of things. During her first week at her new international school Grace is out in Kowloon on a field trip when an old lady palm reader uses a phrase her dad used to talk to Grace about, mixed blood, only in her dad's stories it refers to a legend about people who had a mix of human and dragon blood. Grace is pretty sure the old lady is just telling her she's half-Caucasian, half-Asian, but then the old lady gives Grace a strange orb. The next day that orb hatches into a very real baby water dragon. Soon Grace and a few kids from school are hunting down where the little dragon could've come from and why it was given to Grace. But when a mysterious old woman gifts her a dragon egg during a field trip, Grace discovers that the wonderful stories of dragons she heard when she was a young girl might actually be real – especially when the egg hatches overnight. The dragon has immense powers that Grace has yet to understand. And that puts them both in danger from mysterious forces intent on abusing the dragon’s power. And now it’s up to Grace and her school friends to uncover the sinister plot threatening the entire city! Einer von ihnen, Ramesh, stiftet sie an, während eines Schulausflugs abzuhauen und auf den nahen Markt zu gehen. Grace ist unwohl dabei, macht jedoch mit und wird dort schnell von einer Handleserin vereinnahmt, die bald schon schnell und in einer fremden Sprache auf sie einredet. Ein Marktarbeiter übersetzt, dass die Handleserin kein Geld möchte. Stattdessen hat sie ein Geschenk für Grace: Ein riesiges blaues Ei. The art was really fun in this graphic novel. I love the style and definitely want to see what else Vivian Truong has done!

Diese Geschichte beruhigt Grace. Der Alltag holt sie bald wieder ein. Doch der starke Husten, der ihren Vater tagtäglich begleitet, eskaliert. Irgendwann bricht er zusammen. Es wird Krebs diagnostiziert. Als ihr Vater dann stirbt, ist das Mädchen am Boden zerstört.I loved reading about the dragons, get some more mythology, and see Grace’s dragon grow and learn more about him. Did you know that a dragon is very expensive to keep? XD All in all this story had me up late last night. I'm a little tired BUT a good tired because I know it wasn't because I was scrolling through Reddit or solving a crime via youtube. This was a very good use of my time and I cannot wait for future installments. When Grace moves to Hong Kong with her mum and new stepdad, her biggest concern is making friends at her fancy new boarding school. Er berichtet vom Gelben Kaiser, dem Vater des chinesischen Volkes, der in der Lage war, sich in einen Drachen zu verwandeln. Als ein Krieg ausbrach, mischte der Kaiser sein Blut mit dem seiner tapfersten Krieger. Das Ergebnis waren Menschen, die von ihrem Umfeld als Mischlinge bezeichnet wurden. Doch diese Mischblüter waren stärker als Drachen, ja sogar stärker als Götter. Sie besaßen den Mut der Unsterblichen. Hinzu kam großes Mitgefühl. All in all, I would recommend this one to all! It was just so much fun and I need the next book soon!
