The Dragon Rider Who Saved The World: 3 Book Trilogy

by Ted Dekker, Rachelle Dekker

What if everything you thought you knew about your world was a lie? What if the peace and safety you relied on were built on fear, control, and secrets too dangerous to uncover? And what if the key to setting it all free lay in the hands of a young girl and a mysterious dragon? Follow Emilia, an unlikely heroine, as she uncovers the secrets of a golden dragon egg and is thrust into a battle between the Guardians and the oppressive Order. With a dragon by her side and enemies at every turn, Emilia’s choices will shape the future of her world. This thrilling stand-alone series is a powerful allegory about bravery, friendship, and the search for truth. It’s a journey of self-discovery, filled with heart-pounding action and the power of hope. Recommended for ages 9-16. (P.S. we often hear parents love them too)

I previewed this as a potential read aloud for my dragon-fond child. I think some elements of the first book in particular will be too intense for her sensitivity level at this point (lower elementary, deeply-feeling kid) but if she wanted to read it in a few years, she’d have my blessing. She does well with action adventure and fantasy (currently going through LOTR with her dad), but I think some of the harder emotional elements of this book would hit too close to home. Dystopian fiction can be tricky for kids, in my opinion. I read a lot of Ted Dekker as a teen and twenty-something and have read a couple books by Rachelle Dekker as well. Even considering that this was written for children, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Everything seemed a little flat, a little rushed, and (my copy at least) had multiple typos throughout the trilogy. It had good messaging consistent with Dekker’s spiritual focus and it kept me interested enough to read to the conclusion. I don’t know that it would compel re-reads or change a life, but it’s a decent story. I’d like to see it cleaned up a bit and the typos resolved.
