The dragonling is everyone's darling... Now that the villagers have finally accepted Darek's dragonling, Zantor, they've all fallen in love with him. Especially Rowena, the spoiled daughter of the chief Elder-- so much that she wants the dragonling for her very own.
But Darek can't give him up! He and Zantor are so close that he can almost get inside the little dragon's mind. So the Chief Elder orders Darek's father to find another dragonling. Even though a dragon mother will have to die-- and maybe some villagers, too. Darek can't let that happen. But how can he stop them... unless he joins the dragon quest?

I remember kinda liking the ending, but not much else about the book. :/ I might recommend the series for kids who like dragons and who are just starting on chapter books. But this is definitely one of those kids series that is only good for kids. :( which says a lot about the book & series as a whole, doesn't it.
