Read These 15 Books With Dragons For High-Flying Fantasy Adventure

Instead of a fantasy world, Kelly Barnhill uses a more familiar setting for "When Women Were Dragons" ($15). In the 1950s, a shocking event threw the world into upheaval: hundreds of thousands of seemingly ordinary women were transformed into dragons and took off into the skies. Alex's aunt was one of them, but her mother was not, and now she finds herself trapped in a society that refuses to ask questions or acknowledge the missing women, even as she herself pushes back against this imposed silence.
