When the explorer David Thompson arrived in the area, he established Jasper's first permanent habitation, a way-station for voyageurs, in 1811. Jasper National Park was formed in 1907. The town of Jasper is located in the heart of the National Park, and at the end of the phenomenal Icefields Parkway. This community of 4,500 provides a beautiful alpine backdrop for many year-round activities, and is an excellent centre for touring. Visit the Jasper Yellowhead Museum and Archives.

Question: #5: I'm looking for a sci-fi book I read when in highschool (in 98) I do not remember the title or the author!
All I remember is that there was this dragon egg, it hatched, and this chubby, insecure girl (looked down upon by all who looked upon her) found him and they went on a journey. The dragon, I think was named Jasper. He always seemed to help her when in a time of need, therefore she would kiss him on the cheek. (He would constantly say, "Don't do that!") Well, by the third time she kissed him, he turned into a human, and he had emerald eyes or of jade? Well, as they travelled the girl became quite thin, no longer chubby and looked upon as ugly,and Jasper would tell her how beautiful she looked, eventually she fell in love with him but something happened, I don't quite remember. It was such an exciting/romantic story, I would really love to read again! Hope someone can help me and thanks for your time! - asked by Prolific

Answer: I think the author was Sandra Brown or something like that. I think the book might have been 'Pigs don't Fly.'I read that a long time ago. ... - answered by: Tor
