I remember reading Dragonsinger when I was in year 6 (so 11 or 12) and I enjoyed it a lot. It was actually recommended to me--we'd gone on a class excursion to a house in the countryside where we met an author who read us her book (it was a picture storybook, I remember) and talked about how she wrote it and how the collaboration between author and artist worked. Afterwards we visited the bookshop, and one of the booksellers saw me wandering around and recommended it to me. I remember my teacher arguing with her that the book was too adult for me, and I remember looking at the dragon on the cover, deciding it sounded hella awesome, and slipping off to buy it while the debate raged. :D
