review:

'Saving the Sun Dragon' is the second book in the Scholastic Dragon Masters series. It's part of their chapter book line called Branches and every page has an illustration. It's a fun book with a young group of dragon trainers (excuse me, masters) as the stars.



A group of young children are all assigned a particular dragon. Some can fly, some can not. When Ana's sun dragon Kepri becomes ill, they are at a loss to figure out how to save her. Even the castle wizard Griffith can't seem to figure it out, but they better think of something. King Roland is none too happy that the dragon is sick and he wants to blame Griffith if Kepri doesn't get better. The young dragon masters go on an exotic adventure to try to save Kepri. They make new friends along the way, learn new things about themselves and their dragons, and make some tough choices.



The story by Tracey West is fun. So are the illustrations by Graham Howells. I think young readers will like the dragons and like imagining what it would be like to be a dragon master. King Roland comes across as mean, and their are some other threatening grownups, but the wizard Griffiths is a helpful adult. The book is aimed at about the 3rd grade level.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Scholastic and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun independent reader chapter book.
