Kindred Dragons (Book 1) by Sarah Mensinga

From Harry N. Abrams

Alice has been unhappy ever since her parents sent her to Prince Edward Island to live with her strict grandmother. Alice is fanciful, prone to telling tall tales, and absolutely OBSESSED with dragons! Fairies deliver dragon eggs to a select few, known as Kindreds, but no egg has ever arrived for Alice. While wandering the woods alone, she finds and secretly befriends a mysterious old dragon named Brim. Alice is excited to finally have a dragon friend of her own, but when Brim suddenly falls ill, Alice must set out on a desperate quest to save him. As Alice searches for a cure, she discovers that her connection to dragons is unlike that of any Kindred--but will her new power be enough to save her friend? Let your imagination take flight in this heartfelt story of friendship, family, and learning to love who you are!
