Editorial Reviews
A New York Times bestselling series!
Praise for Rise of the Earth Dragon (Dragon Masters #1):
"In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabulary is accessible; sentences, paragraphs, and chapters are short; and dialogue moves the story along rapidly. Black-and-white sketch-type drawings add depth to the story and feelings to the characters (both children and dragons). Emergent readers will find happy success here." -- Booklist
"The first of a new series of early chapter books, this entry is sure to attract fans. Brief chapters, large print, lots of action, attractive illustrations in every spread including a maplike panorama, an enviable protagonist -- who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Master? -- all combine to make an entertaining reader. With plenty left to be resolved, the next entry will be eagerly sought after." -- Kirkus Reviews

My son has been waiting for this book to come out and it did not disappoint.

I’ve been reading the Dragon Masters books to my kids for the last couple of years and they still absolutely love them! They really enjoyed this story about the newest Dragon Master, Val, and their invisible dragon, Fig. Baby dragons are always a hit with my kids!

Kids both loved the new book and it’s very similar in vibe and plot with the other beloved books in the series. A bit weird to see people freaking out over the pronouns. It barely registered and you can chose to use it as a teachable moment… or not! Personally I loved to see the increased diversity of gender identity in the series.

My son read the whole book in one sitting. He absolutely loves this series and was livid when I told him the next one wouldn’t be out for a while. What more could a parent want? As a note: I was prepared to have a conversation about pronouns with him after reading reviews, but it never registered for him as he read the book and he never noticed the they/them. There is no discussion about it in the book so it definitely gives parents the opportunity to discuss it on their own terms.
