Auch der zweite Band ist so bezaubernd wie der erste. Eine spannende Geschichte für Mädchen und Jungen ab 6. In diesem Band wird Ana´s Sonnendrache Kepri krank, und die vier Drachenmeister wollen unbedingt helfen. Sie brauen einen Trank, doch als dieser keine Wirkung zeigt, muss eine andere Lösung her...
Spannend geschrieben für junge Leser und Leserinnen und dazu wieder reichlich bebildert. Optisch erscheint es sehr hochwertig, aber auch der Inhalt muss sich nicht verstecken! Ein schönes Kinderbuch für abenteuerlustige Leser.

My son absolutely loves these books! Full review to follow.

This was the second book in this series my children and I have read together. My youngest two love the series. And for this book the oldest child and I took turns reading to the younger two. Making this series great for the whole family. As my children grow it is harder to find books that all three, girl, boy, girl like and will read together. It is wonderful that the oldest can help read to the younger two and that this book entertains all three. This series showed up in my recommended books because of reading some Dragon books by Chris d'Lacey and we gave them a try and there has been no looking back.

This second book in this series opens with fun and adventure, the dragons go out to fly. But things soon turn dark when Kepri the sun dragon becomes sick and almost falls from the sky. Soon the 4 dragon masters and their teacher Griffith are poring over books and scrolls trying to find a cure. Soon Worm the earth dragon reveals another of his abilities and the group is off to an adventure in Egypt. This is a story filled with spells, magic, a mysterious twin and more. A great tale.

The illustrations by Graham are wonderful, the help support the story without being too scary. The embellishments on almost every page add to the stunning presentation. And combine that with well written stories and the book and series is a big hit.

I cannot say enough how much my children love these books. They ask to read each night, and turn off the TV and devices in order to read earlier. They always ask for extra chapters. They even ask often when book 4 will be out and to see the cover of it. And what higher praise could be given to a book or series than children clamouring to read more, or read again. Another book that kids love.

Read the review on my blog Book Reviews and More and reviews of other books by West and Howells.

It was really adventurous! The sun dragon got sick. All sun dragons have moon dragon twins that can heal them when they're sick. My favorite character was Wati. I really love this series and I want to read them all but there's a LOT of them.

I read this with my son when he was 5. He is now 7 and still enjoys the Dragon Master series.

[Ashlee Seelos · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son (5) loved the second book in the series and can’t wait until we can get to the library to get the third.

[Christina (Confessions of a Book Addict) · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son and I are loving this series. It involves friendship, dragons, a castle, wizards and a mystery surrounding a dark wizard. It's all very Sword and the Stone, which we LOVE, so this is right up our alley. We look forward to continuing the rest of the series. Full review to come.

My kid really likes the Dragon Masters series. It's great for 1st-3rd graders.

[Kristina McGee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Continued reading this series with my students, the kindergartners have remained super engaged.

[Ronel Janse van Vuuren · Rating 5 out of 5]

A dragon gets sick and potions don’t work to heal her. Worm, a dragon who can’t fly, has special powers and takes her – and the young dragon masters – to the cure of the Sun Dragon’s disease.

I love dragons! This is an excellent story full of dragons with different abilities.

I can’t wait to read the entire series! I know, just reading for my inner-child. This book is appropriate for young readers (7-9 years), though I think that’s more of a read-alone thing. If read aloud, I think it is more like 4-6.

Branches is a relatively new imprint of high interest chapter book series perfect for anywhere from second to 4th grade, depending on reading level. Abundantly illustrated with pictures on every page, these make a good transition from beginning readers and will appeal to kids who are anxious to get into things like Harry Potter but don't read well enough yet. Large font, short chapters, and lots of pictures make it an attractive sell to the target audience.

[Jasmyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the Sun Dragon's story and the legends behind it. Another great story that my son (3yo) sat through in one sitting. Worm and his friends grow closer and discover some new friends and even some new magic. We can't wait to get started on the next one.

A lovely second book in the Dragon Master series. The plot starts to thicken. Who created that mysterious red orb? Why is Kapri suddenly sick and how do the dragon masters find a cure for her?

It's a charming read. The writing flows really well as the story unfolds. We get to see a new dragon in this book which is always a positive for me. I hope each new book there is at least one new dragon. The book shows compassion and kindness along with the theme of being homesick. Ana and Kapri make a wonderful duo and it's nice the book is focused on her instead of only on Drake, as I hoped we would learn more about each character in my first review.

Highly recommended read to kids and adults alike.

Even more fun than the first book!

Ana's dragon Kepri isn't feeling well. The wizards can't do anything for her, but they've heard all sun dragons have a matching moon dragon that can help them. If only there was a way to help Kepri find her brother.

I'm enjoying this little series. I think I could use the first book for our K-2 book group next year.

Read this book for Barrett. Not giving it a star rating because Barrett actively looks for the next book in this series. I’m not the intended audience and I’m pretty convinced I can write a bestseller if this is the kind of content that flies off the shelves.

i really liked it because there was a new dragon

Avery gives it 4 stars!

[Mr. Cody · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series! Amazing series for young readers wanting to wade into chapter books.

[Finn Lofgren · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was really fun and cool with all the dragons. I liked that there was something surprising in the middle of the story.

[Beth Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read aloud to the younger kids. As much as we got to know some of the dragons better in this book, I wasn’t as on board with the plot.

[Krysanne Carlson · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was really good, especially when something happened to Ana. Finnley, age 7.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really like the way the lore builds with this second book. Not only is it good world-building in a way that's easy to grasp, it's also a great hook for its intended audience.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Second book was as good as the first.

[Isaac · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great sequel. I love were this series is going.

[Maggie Carr · Rating 4 out of 5]

This may be "the series" for my kid. He's enamored and I love watching him ponder and ask questions.

[Katlyn Boes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Avery says 5 stars. Kepri is her favorite dragon.

I'm unable to choose my own audiobooks to listen to in the car until school restarts in the fall.

[Jackson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the book. I liked that they saved Capri. King Roland said to Drake “we won’t place you a new wizard for now”.

[Reyes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Esta vez toca la historia de Anna y su dragona. La trama principal se va complicando!

[Mackenzie Hulsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

We loved this one too!

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chapter book that is good for Kindergarteners.
