Reviewed by Horn Book Guide Reviews (Horn Book Guide Reviews 2015 Fall) Drake, son of an onion farmer, joins three other children at the castle to secretly train dragons (Rise). Next, the Dragon Masters must cure the sun dragon (Saving) and quest to reclaim a magic stone (Secret). These short chapter books are heavy on action and light on characterization and subtlety. The illustrated format will appeal to children unready for Harry Potter. [Review covers these Dragon Master titles: Rise of the Earth Dragon, Saving the Sun Dragon, and Secret of the Water Dragon.] |
