Publisher's summary

THE LAST DRAGONS IN THE KINGDOM WERE KILLED A HALF CENTURY AGO.

At least that’s what twelve-year-old Eliana has grown up hearing. Imagine her surprise when one morning in the forest she finds herself eye-to-eye with a young dragon. When she learns the dragon’s father has been missing since the last full moon, she vows to help.

Together, they seek the King for guidance, but upon reaching the castle they realize the short, frazzled King has problems of his own. The kingdom’s treasure is missing and the tribute to the Overking is due in a few short weeks. If the King doesn’t pay, he will lose his kingdom to the Overking’s feckless nephew.

The dragon and the girl must discover courage—sprinkled with magic—to find what is lost before the kingdom falls into the wrong hands, and people and dragons perish forever.

I loved this book… some parts were a bit confusing though

I have been obsessed with dragons and magic forever. I loved this book because it had:
1. Both magic and dragons
2. I like the idea of having a semi-telepathically connection with a dragon
3. I like how The story is not centered self around a prince or a princess. I feel like in a lot of stories like this one, the prince/princess is either the main character of the story or the story centers itself around the prince/princess. Instead the main character is Eliana who I think is much more relatable to people.
4: I think it’s cool how in this story the dragons didn’t even eat meat.
5: The way Eliana feels guilty for lying and then leaving her parents. So I read a lot of books. In a lot of them with plot similar to this (being the character goes out on a big adventure to save the kingdom) the character wonder’s how the people they left are doing. Eliana actually feels guilty for betraying her parents trust. I think that makes her character more human.

So that’s why I love the book. I could of course going to greater depth. But I’m not going to right now. I just think it’s an amazing book and I would totally recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy books With both a betrayal and darkness, happiness and deep friendship. With all that said there’s only one concern. I wouldn’t even call it concern really I’d call it more of a confusion I guess. It’s switches between both characters and sometimes actual times of the things happening. At first it was pretty confusing and made it a little hard to keep up with but as the story went on I figured it out. I love this book and I can’t wait to read the second one!

Wow! Finished in One Day!

I must have gone through so many emotions listening to this book! It made me bring my inner child out and it was like I could remember all of my old imaginations that I once had about dragons, flying and adventures! It's crazy because when we grow up we tend to leave those imaginations/emotions behind us and books like these remind us to always dream of what seems impossible! What a fantastic book with fantastic characters! I will be getting the second book and listening to this book again in the future!

Great story from beginning to end!

The author has a wonderful way of painting a story that pulls you in and let’s your imagination soar! This book would appeal to all ages. The narrator did a marvelous job. Can’t wait for book two. Hope the same narrator reads the book!!

I loved, loved, loved this story and I love dragons.

I liked that one of the main characters was a girl. I also liked that it was a story of good overcoming evil. I loved how the dragons were described as beautiful creatures that could be trusted.

Great story for young children

My 9 and 6 year old loved this book. It is definitely for a younger audience. It is not too scary and tries to reinforce doing the right thing and appreciation for parents.
