| | Dragonsong / Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey, Pern Harper Hall books |
 | | Now that there was nothing to keep her from her beloved music and fire lizards, could Menolly learn to live among others, realize her talent and find her rightful place in the future of Pern? |
 | | At Harper Hall, the music conservatory on Pern, Menolly is initially unaware of the extent of her own powers, since, due to her sex, her musical skill had been suppressed in her homeland. |
 | | Because they are targeted at young adults, McCaffrey stays focused on her sympathetic and humble protagonist Menolly, with a fairly small supporting cast, instead of jumping back and forth between too many interchangeable characters as she tends to do in her other Pern books. |
