Super fun, short chapter book to read to your kids before bedtime. Maddy does great at painting a imaginative picture in small words that young kids can understand.

Readaloud with both girls! The story was okay (it’s a giant series with several authors), but it’s the first book both girls have maintained an interest in to the end. Lily picked it out if a Scholastic book order (for the necklace, let’s be real) and they want to read the next one already!

I loved it so much! If you like wings of fire, you might like this! Amazing.

I read this to both my granddaughters and they were entranced. My oldest loved when the 3 friends turned from humans into dragons. She loved Grace’s buddy FinFin. She really was fascinated with their flying abilities. Additionally, she learned that the diamond dolphins thought that the shiver sharks had kidnapped their leader. However, it was truly the Fire Queen and her Fire Sparks.

My youngest loved their shell bracelets and how they merged together into one beautiful shell to talk to the Tree Queen. She was so happy when they rescued the dolphin leader/sea keeper.

The authors hit another home run. These books have influenced my daughter to create her own dragon stories, and she now loves all things dragons. This book is an interesting take on sea dragons with all new obstacles and new lessons to learn. The main one is don't judge a person by their appearance. So far, each book is packed with adventure and wonder. The only question I have is how the fire queen escaped?

Book 10 of the Dragon Girls ( first book of the three part adventure of the Sea Dragons). We follow the three camp friends Grace, Zoe and Sofia and Graces sidekick FinFin. The girls love the water and will need to help the Tree Queen protect the Magic Forest.

This is my second favorite of the series after Rosie the twilight dragon.

I can see why students like these books. Friendships, adventure, mythical creatures. Easy to read and follow. Also beautiful to look at and collect.

2024 pop sugar reading challenge- a book that features dragons.

Bedtime story for the girls. Eliza picked it up at a book fair. The story was cute with themes of friendship, don't judge someone based on their appearance, adventure and mystery.

Both girls seemed to like this magical world underwater. We will start the next one in the series soon.

[Ceresa Loomis]

Very cute too hard for kinder but would be good for 2nd grade

[Lauren Veenhuis]

Read aloud with Clara and she loved it! Perfect for 1st grade. She’s ready for the next one!

[Jordan]

Not for me. But my 7 year old loves it.

[Mandi]

Fun new dragon trilogy. My son continues to enjoy these books.

[Pamela Zeiger]

My 6 year old loved it. I found the water dragons to be fun. I still think it's funny that they just have to roar to fix anything.

[Judy]

I love sharing the reading experience of my granddaughters favourite series.

Recommended by a fourth grader! I would have liked these in elementary school.

[Danielle]

omg I'm so excited for my six year old to be able to read these books on her own. they're fine, they're just SO formulaic and we've re-read many of them multiple times.

[Liz]

My 6 year old cannot get enough of this series. :) She’s eating them up! I love sharing them with her.

[Katy Lovejoy]
