A Whisper of Smoke
Pauline Creeden, Melinda R. Cordell
Fantasy set among Vikings in what appears to be England. Love Smoke the owl. Skeggi at 16 is raising his four brothers. He's also a dragon rider in training. His 14-yr-old brother is rebellious and refuses to take any responsibility for his younger brothers adopting a slacker attitude. Skeggi suffers the ignominy of having been defeated by the practice dummy. He survives despite being frequently knocked onto his back or being planted face first in the dirt.
Smoke the owl is his most important asset. This is a prequel for a series to come and it ends with a hint of romance.
