The little girl found under a bush has no name and cannot speak. Is she a miracle child who escaped the raiders, or is she a bad-luck child, the one who called the Bull King’s ship to the island? No one sees the mama-stone around her neck, with the sign of the dragonfly. And only Luki, in training to leap the bulls, knows that she charmed the viper who would have killed him. When the girl turns twelve, she discovers her name – Aissa – and she knows that her one chance to live freely is to become a bull dancer, and be taken away to the island of the Bull King.

I really like this book. I love how you can relate to the feelings she goes through. I also like that it is placed a long time ago and is based on a myth.
This book is one of the most emotional books I’ve ever read. It is very sad and I cried for a good part of it. This is a book you can connect to. I recommend this book.
It was a really good book combining the bronze age and fiction.
I was happy for her in the end. but I felt sorry for her in the beginning and what happened. I recommend this book if you like fiction and myth.
I really liked this book, but it was REALLY confusing at the beginning. It was really sad and I loved how I could connect to it.
The Dragonfly Song was one of the best stories I have ever read. It is very heartfelt as it’s about the firstborn daughter of the lady. She was born with extra thumbs and was disowned because of it. This is the story of hope and having a second chance.
