The small town of Ravenswood Bridge has a problem – a large, scaly, fire breathing problem. Once a year a huge dragon turns up and decides to fly around setting fires left, right and centre, which for most people, isn't really that convenient.
This year however, will be different; a prophet has spoken, the monster will be no more and the good people will be saved, for they have a champion, a chosen one, a hero. At least, that’s how the plan was meant to go, before Rispin Quill got involved.

Please be aware (part one)
Rispin Quill, the Dragon Tongue does not include: villain does bad deed. “We need a hero.” Hero turns up. Predictable filler to use up more pages. Swords / axes / a battle. The hero’s friend dies (gallantly). Wait, no, they’re okay. The villain is dead – or are they? Everyone is happy. The end.
Please be aware (part two)

*spoilers*
I love all manor of dragon books minus romance ones. I picked up this book because I thought it'd focus on dragons. It doesn't really. The book starts off with the main character meeting a comically scary dragon and sharing some roasted chicken with it. Then the boy starts telling the story of how he ended up on that very same mountain and the book jumps to a flashback. For the rest of the story the boy recounts why the villagers forced him onto the mountain alone with a dragon. I really didn't find myself enjoying it and started reading ahead.
