Dragondrums

I just discovered one of Anne McCaffrey's old books, Dragondrums. It was published in 1979. I don't know how I missed it.  I've been a devoted fan of her books for years.

 Piemur, a talented singer in the Harper's Hall, is about to perform a leading part in a special program when his voice cracks as most young men's voices do at a certain age. He is devastated, frustrated and looking for something to do. A natural at getting into trouble, Piemur manages to find a special prize he wants very much. Once he has it, he must protect it at all costs.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dragondrums.  It is a short read, only 139 pages and, for me, a page turner. You can still get if from Amazon.
