Reviews

[Tammy Landgren]

This is the fourth book of the Dragon Girls, the first in the Treasure Dragon trilogy. I read this with my 7-year-old after finishing the first three books. She likes them. I am getting bored because they're all basically the same book. I would have liked if this trilogy focused on a different threat than the shadow queen, or if the series of events had had a different format. It's a cute book for kids, but I don't know that I will keep reading more of these books with her, as it gets very repetitive after a while.

Read this book to the girl I was babysitting. Leaving this review because it was so bad. Felt like Rainbow Magic Fairies stripped to its bones and put in a Halloween costume.

[MissBecka Gee]

The companion animals in these are probably my favorite part and this was no exception.

[Elena Noemi]

I like this book because it is different then the others

Un bon début à de nouvelles aventures/ obstacles avec les 3 dragons des merveilles.
Dans cette première partie de trois (tome 4: Mei, le dragon des merveilles rubis), nous suivons Mei et son acolyte Couinot, elles sont à la recherche du livre de la forêt magique.
Nous rencontrons aussi les deux amies de Mei les dragons de merveilles Aisha et Quinn.

I'm not sure why I didn't review it when I finished reading it but I did really like it.

IT IS A GOOD BOOK 📕

[Paige]

My 8.5 year olds thoughts "It was okay. The thing I liked was that she is a Ruby treasure dragon. I like rubies. Mei is brave and I like when she roars to scare away the shadow sprites. I love the friendship bracelets."

My child choose this book for her third quarter book report. She read the whole thing out to me. Now after book 4, I am invested in the story. I am kind of excited about night and sea dragons coming up.

[Spartori]

It's odd having the fourth book not give any nod to the three characters established in the first book, but the tree Queen and the shadow Queen did return. So I guess that's kind of the running theme. I did like how this book pays better where it was a single item that the whole story was focused on and then there was different trials and challenges based on that one item rather than them gathering ingredients like in the first three

My son is excited to be hearing about a different “type” of dragon now. Seems like it’ll be trilogies to group the new friend groups so that part is fun. So far yet again it is the same enemy that they are facing which is a let down. Looking for something new to continue the story. However my son who is 6 continues to like these stories so my ratings are based on how he feels about them.

[Bekah Stoltzfoos]

My favorite thing is when they get the forest book and they say something and then it will be in the book really fast!

My least favorite thing is when they only had to find one item instead of 3, like in the other books.

[Xanthe]

Very repetative but my eight year old loves them so they do exactly what they're supposed to do, which is give young readers an uncomplicated adventure where the main characters get to turn into DRAGONS and save the day. Who can criticize that?

[Aimee Brookes]

The four year old started to correctly predict events based on the narrative structure of the first three books. This makes them both a fantastic book for reading newly independent readers and also a bit tedious for adults who are reading them aloud.

[Karli Charles]

This books showed me that even I your not your self you can always depend on having your friends as backup and this warmed my heart you will Always have friends and yourself to guide you al the way

[Gabs]

[Jaydeblue]

2.5. Can see this being very enjoyable for the intended audience (aka kids).

[Megan Persong]

This book is amazing. It's about this girl who loves to make jewelry and she makes 3 special bracelets that lead into this really cool for us with these amazing creatures Figure out more...

[Judy]

Another fabulous young fiction it inspire the small people in your life.
I am reading along with my young reader granddaughter and sharing the adventures even though we are separated by miles.

[Kris]

A colorful, imaginative book given to me by my 7 year old granddaughter for Christmas! I could see her as a Dragon girl!

[Laura]

It was very good, but every time something went wrong I knew every time they were just going to roar together.

[Katie]

My 6-year-old's current obsession. They're marginally better than the fairy falderal that was her previous obsession... Marginally.

[Pamela Zeiger]

My 6 year old daughter said 5 stars because of the exciting rescue of the book. I personally didn't think the rescue was as good as the first set because all their tires were fixed the same way.

[Eileen]

Another similar book, though slightly more unique than the last 3 due to the new set of 3 girls.

[Sassy_99]

My daughter and I are loving this series.

[Katie]

V, âge 6:
Favorite part: the book butterflies looked magical.
Best part of the story: the cha cha ants were funny. Wish there were more soldier ants in the story and a picture.
