Narrative As Books The Mark of the Dragonfly (World of Solace #1)

Piper has never seen the Mark of the Dragonfly until she finds the girl amid the wreckage of a caravan in the Meteor Fields.  The girl doesn't remember a thing about her life, but the intricate tattoo on her arm is proof that she's from the Dragonfly Territories and that she's protected by the king. Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home.  The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect--everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible.  Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey.

Notice Containing Books The Mark of the Dragonfly (World of Solace #1)

This book was GREAT. I loved the steampunk side to it. READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mark of the Dragonfly was a vivid trip into an alternate steampunkish world. Written from a child's perspective, The Mark of the Dragonfly is a kid safe adventure for all ages to enjoy.Piper is orphaned in a Meteor pelted scrapper town. Struggling to survive by her scavenging and mechanical works, she is unexpectedly pulled into a world of treachery and betrayal.Johnson brilliantly writes and marvelously conveys the inner workings of a child's mind. Battling for survival, coming to terms

Wow! Is it steampunk for kids? Sort of, but there is so much more, adventure, danger, learning to trust others and appreciate them as individuals. Most of all, The Mark of the Dragonfly is a fantastic journey into reading that will make even the most reluctant young reader unable to put this one down! The pace is fast, the details are not overbearing, slowing down the story. A younger reader has the chance to turn their own imagination loose and fall into the world of The Mark of the Dragonfly

** A 4.8 Review as posted on KindleObsessed blog **Over the past 5 years I have become very close friends with the secretary at my childrens school. Not because of my children exactly (though she adores both and spoils them rotten) but because we both love to read. Last June (on the last day of school) I brought her a bag full of some of my favorite books. Here you go, I said. Some goodies to keep you company this summer. She of course flipped out, grabbing the bag and squealing for joy.

Figured out the surprise way early. Would make a good movie (which imo is not a good thing, as books should offer something more, or at least different). Want to know more about the premise of the world. Names are confusing: had to study to keep track of Arno vs. Aron, and how do you pronounce Gee, and why are some names familiar to real-life and others invented? Back cover page not right (among other things, Piper's hair has "spirals.") Some repetitions which, if caught, could be eliminated to



This review is also posted on my blog, Anatea's Bookshelf. I don't usually read Middle-Grade books, in fact, I have only read a few of them, but The Mark of the Dragonfly sounded really interesting, so I decided to read it, or more so, read something that I don't normally read. Now, I'm glad I did, because this book is quite good, and I was surprised to see that MG is not that bad, even though there is no romance in it. Maybe it was even refreshing not having romance as a focus, and let alone
