The Last Dragon, by Silvana Di Mari
Yorsh is a young elf who encounters two humans whose differences lead to several humorous situations. Encountering an old prophecy that the last elf and last dragon will create a new beginning for a land engulfed in darkness, Yorsh journeys to find the dragon. His fate is also tied to the fate of a young orphan girl whose parentage the reader will predict. This was a very satisfying fantasy with humor, danger, and characters the reader quickly cares about.

Sue seems to have beaten me to all of my nominations so I will second this one as well. I think it will be great for our Harry Potter fans with the fanfare of the newest and final installment that will likely be far above elementary readers as well and the 3rd book of the "Inheritance Trilogy." It is a great read for student who love those books but are not mature enough for the most reent offerings. In addition it is great for those fans of Funke's "Dragon Rider"

An excellent fantasy book which offers a character who learns that while he is the key to the prophecy, he is not the only person involved. Great coming of age "revelations" to the elf character.
