The Dragonling - Couverture rigide

A boy and a baby dragon forge an unlikely friendship in this first book in the fantastical Dragonling chapter book series!

Darek can’t wait for his first Dragonquest. Then he can be just like his older brother, Clep, the hero who brought down a Great Blue, the largest and fiercest dragon of all.

Darek goes to admire the kill—and finds a dragonling peeking out of the giant dragon’s pouch. Scared but curious, he feeds the hungry baby and makes an unlikely friend. But to save the helpless Dragonling he must now venture into the fearsome Valley of the Dragons, risking his life to return his friend to his own fire-breathing kind.

A briskly moving, satisfying story, and the dragons are nicely endearing. Kirkus on The Dragonling"The characters are believable, and their adventures, fears, and suspicions make for exciting reading for children moving into chapter books." School Library Journal on The Dragonling"The Marvelous cycle of books about the bond between a boy and his dragon fits snugly between early chapter books and traditional fantasy for children. Wonderfully well written, and with the deepest respect for its characters epic and adventurous in scope " Walter the Storyteller
