I love dragons and the webcomic is great but it's slow to read online because it's just one new page each week, and it gets tedious. So I just jumped ahead and bought the issues. This one is great and really moves the story forward. My daughters like it a lot.

My kids were given the first book, "The Curse" for Christmas, so I just bought this one when I saw it was out now. If it's like the other book they will like it.

This story follows right up after the end of the first issue. I'm not sure how it would read if I hadn't read the first one, but I think it's a great series for kids who like dragons.

I'm loving this new series and the second book is as good as the first. Can't wait to see where this goes!

The Dragon In The Closet is a magical, whimsical, funny, captivating, adventurous, imaginative, unique, expressive, and endearing story! This book is a childrens/young adult comic book. I don't read comic books or graphic novels often, but this one had me completely engaged! It was full of twists, turns, and cliff hangers. I love that it mashes up various fairytales. Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the Bean Stock, dragons, witches, fairy godmothers, and so much more is referenced in this book. You never know what will happen next! 

Orin Bean longs to be normal but bad luck seems to follow him. Thankfully, his Nana is always there to save him. One day, he finds out he is cursed, Nana is a witch, and the orcal dragon in Nana's closet is the only thing keeping him safe. What happens next is even more mind-blowing.

We follow the webcomic online and when I saw that issues #1 and #2 were now in print I got them right away for my son. He really likes this story.

The art is good and the story is cute. Spoiler: The Dragon finally gets out of the closet in this one.
