Seraphina (*** 1/2)

A very interesting and compelling book about the life of a half dragon named Seraphina.  Her life is made up of secrets and of dodging questions about her strangely conservative clothing habits.  Her uncle Orma, also her teacher is her dragon.  A problem arises, a member or the royal family is murdered  while on a hunting trip, his head torn off, and a rouge dragon is said to be sighted in the countryside, in his natural form.  Orma has an idea of  just what dragon it is.  The Prince in the royal family and Seraphina strike up an unexpected friendship that will be tested and tryed.  Orma suspects that someone, closer then they think, is hiding in the court.  Maybe impersonating somebody close to the royal family..  Can Seraphina solve a murder,  uncover an undercover dragon, and keep her friendship with the prince without revealing what she is.
This book is 251 pages.  I'll give it three and a half stars (*** 1/2).
