OH TO BE A DRAGONRIDER

The only thing Keevan wanted in life was to be a dragonrider, just like his father. Surely nothing could ever be as thrilling as soaring through the air while sitting between the two powerful wings of a dragon.

But Keevan was small and there always were more boys who wanted to be dragonriders than there were dragons. So someone surely would be disappointed.
