Scrap Dragon is a delightful story by the wonderful Naomi Kritzer (previously). Both text and audio, so you can read or listen, courtesy of the Cast of Wonders podcast. Featuring the youngest of three daughters and a talking nutria.

Originally published in the January/February 2012 edition of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, narrated for Cast of Wonders by Rachel Lackey and Heather Klinke.

This post is thanks to the fabulous brainwane, who has posted extraordinary numbers of wonderful stories to MetaFilter, via the LinkMe thread.

Always love revisiting a good story. This one gives me Unbeatable Squirrel Girl mixed with Princess Bride vibes.
