The Story of Owen by Emily Kate Johnston
4.0
History has been rewritten to include dragons (and dragonslayers) in a fairly believable way. The narrator, Sadie, is a musician and becomes Owen's bard and spin doctor when he moves to town and starts at her school.
The dragons are destroying cities and forcing people to move farther and farther north, attacking industry, mines, and even cars and people in their carbon hunting fury.
The characters in this story are really interesting and self-reliant, not angsty at all and there's none of that clingy relationship stuff found in so much YA. These characters have a sense of humor and a solid work ethic.
Definitely a new take on dragons.
