They are SO good. My young lady loves them, and read through them faster than the Dragon Master books (which is saying something) and was very sad when she got to the end of the 6th book and found out there's not (yet) a 7th.  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 THANK YOU!!!!! My daughter would LOVE those! And yes, we are trying to get her to read chapter books. So far she's read one, a PUrrmaids book, because she loves cats. But it was pretty boring plot wise I think, lol. These look awesome!

shawthorne44 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I bet our library would have those.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahm Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 When I was reading the first paragraph, I was actually thinking, "this person has to try Zoey and Sassafrass!" So, very good description! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes into my 7 year old's Christmas stash. She loves dragons, and yes she's needing that push into chapter books (She can read them -- reading Charlotte's Web at school. But on her own picks up other stuff)  (And I think her teacher is getting a set for Christmas as well) Edited December 7, 2018 by vonfirmath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhopper Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 I'm so glad this was a helpful suggestion! They were such a wonderful find for us -- and I'm really surprised and impressed by the amount of solid science in them. I did a little inward giggle of delight when my dd asked me how to pronounce " a-g-a-r" and started telling me about how they were testing for bacteria! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Fabulous! My late-reading 10 year old refuses to read anything but graphic novels. This series seems like a perfect progression for my cat AND dragon-loving girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 One of my teacher friends is friends with the author! Another great series in that vein is Dragon in a Sock Drawer series.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
