Wow this book marks the 21st time I have read a Dragon Masters Book. I can easily state that as a family we really love these books! A few years ago, I read the first eight books of this series to my son. Then his interest was drawn away. My youngest daughter really enjoyed them and the three of us read them, she listened to her brother or I read. This year my youngest has been reading them to me. She gets a little frustrated that I have not read ahead now, because it often means she reads an ex Wow this book marks the 21st time I have read a Dragon Masters Book. I can easily state that as a family we really love these books! A few years ago, I read the first eight books of this series to my son. Then his interest was drawn away. My youngest daughter really enjoyed them and the three of us read them, she listened to her brother or I read. This year my youngest has been reading them to me. She gets a little frustrated that I have not read ahead now, because it often means she reads an extra chapter or two because I cannot tell her what is about to happen. This year we also found out that my nephew has been reading them and was only 1 book ahead of us. He is reading the physical books and We are reading the eBook editions. This is a great story in a wonderful series. My youngest daughter is insistent that we will read the whole series. And she has spent her reading challenge money buying all the kindle editions that are available. Including Griffin’s Guide for Dragon Masters. I have said it before, and I state it again, ‘this series really has staying power’. I have read some of the stories 4 or 5 times now. And have been reading them for over 4 years. And I still enjoy the stories as do my children. My son who thought he had outgrown these stories has been sitting in and listening to his sister read them to me again lately. It is also great to know that my brother’s family loves them as much as ours. It is fascinating to watch the kids interact and compare notes about the books that they are both reading. And to predict what will happen next based on the endings of the book, or title of the next as we queue it up. And when we started this one she read well beyond her daily required reading time. One of the best things about this series is that it is a true series. In that each story builds upon the next. The stories are strong enough to be read on their own, but as a whole we get to watch the growth of the group as they come together as a team and learn to work together and support each other. And we see some characters come in and out of the stories. And in this one we meet new dragon masters and their legendary dragon Naga the earthquake dragon. He is so large and powerful he has two dragon masters. And you will find out more about them by reading this story. The next battle with Maldred the evil wizard takes place, and there are some surprises in store for us and the dragon masters we are reading about. This is the first volume illustrated by Daniel Griffo. I believe the fifth illustrator so far for the series. The illustrations keep a consistent feel and look. But Each artist leaves their own mark on the books they work on. Some illustrations stand alone and some wrap around the text and span two-page spreads. And my daughter absolutely loved the cover of this one. This is another excellent read in a great series. These are fun books for young readers, but also entertaining enough for older readers. I am continually impressed with the staying power of this series. After multiple reads over several years I still really enjoy returning to the Dragon Masters. And look forward too many more reads in this series, as my daughter is insistent, she will read them all to me! And she insisted we give it 5/5 stars! A great read in a great series!

The story quality has somewhat improved in this volume from the previous one (the poorest so far in my opinion) but the style is still stuttering and repetitive. Maybe this is actually beneficial in a certain way for a children's book? Anyway, my son is now hooked again after reading this volume and we ordered 14 immediately, so that says something too. After we read book 12, we both thought we were through with the Dragon Masters series.

Very fast-paced and exciting. Again full of plot holes my kids didn’t notice. Totally story doorway, these are. I had a hard time suppressing my snarky commentary, but my kids BEG to read them, so there you go.

{My thoughts} – There is so much that has happened in this series from the beginning. There are so many new Dragon Masters and Dragons that have been introduced. In this book we get the meet an Earthquake Dragon named Naga. He is a really strong dragon that is hidden away and has two Dragon Masters. Not one but two! Maldred got away with both the Silver Key and the Gold Key in the last book. His goal was to get to the Earthquake Dragon and use it’s power to control the world.

Drake and the Silver and Gold Dragon Masters head out to help him in trying to stop Maldred from getting his hands on the Earthquake Dragon. What will come of the world with Maldred in control? The hope is that the combined five Dragon Masters will be able to put a stop to Malred. The added dragons and then the help of knowledge is meant to save the day. I am not sure if that is what really happened, well I know what happened, but I don’t want to say. I think this is an incredibly well written and illustrated book set for young readers. I cannot wait to share this series with my girls when they get a little older. My only question at this point in the series is what happened to Eko and her dragon? Hopefully that will be answered eventually in upcoming books? I look forward to hopefully reading the next book in the series very soon!

I really like this series - it has been a great transition for my son. He has really enjoyed the whole series. I’m glad that the author is finally leaving a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of the previous book to keep the interest there for the next book. I hope as the series continues that she will be able to bring back some old characters and dragons and tie them into a new storyline.

This book is perfect for lower-level juvenile readers because the vocabulary is appropriate for second and third graders, the engaging storyline is straightforward, and every page has intriguing illustrations that help enhance the story. Early readers will really enjoy this story because it has a “big kid” feel but with the readability of a beginner chapter book.

This is the first of the series that our library didn't have. Luckily I was able to find an ebook available at a different library system. Lots of action in this one!

My son says it's the best of the Dragon Masters books so far :) Lots of exciting action, a little nerve-wracking but not scary for a seven year old. My son says it's the best of the Dragon Masters books so far :) Lots of exciting action, a little nerve-wracking but not scary for a seven year old.
