BOOK: The fires of Merlin - TA Barron

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Barron, T.A._The fires of Merlin, 1998
This is book three in a series of possibly five.  In this one, young
Merlin is tested by fire in many ways.  He is sent on a journey to
do battle with a dreaded dragon who was put to sleep by Merlin's
grandfather.  On the way he finds out that the dragons eggs have
been crushed and the babies murdered so the dragon is more mad.
 He befriends a deer-person and they go on the journey to find a
tool to help him.  He thinks he loses his power of magic but keeps
going to the battle scene at the end of the book.  Once again T.A.
Barron has done a great job telling a fantasy/adventure story and
filling out the Merlin tale.  I have several students who are
disappointed that they will have to wait until September to read this
261 page book.
