I was looking for something to read to my 7 year old daughter and 3 year old son. I wanted something gender neutral (I wanted to avoid Princess books). This book was great. This is the Fourth book in Dragon Masters Series. It has easy to follow storyline, so even if you skip the first, second and third book and start with this one, you (or your kids) will be able to follow the story, but I recommend starting with the first book because it does refer to what happened in the book 1, 2 and 3.My kids loved the series and asked to read more than 3 chapters a night. This is one of the Scholastic Branches series books. Branches series were written for early chapter book readers. There are two levels: first level is with color pictures and lower Lexile (According to Scholastic website, for ages 5-7, 80 page full color Branches series are: Boris by Andrew Joyner, Kung Pow Chicken by Cindi Marko, Missy's Super Duper Royal Deluxe by Susan Nees, Owl Diaries by Rebecca Elliott, Princess Pink and the Land of Fake-Believe by Noah Z Jones), second level is black and white with a bit higher Lexile (according to Scholastic Website, for ages 6-8, 96 page, black and white Branches series are: The amazing stardust friends by Heather Alexander Illustrated by Diane Le Feyer, Dragon Masters by Tracy West Illustrated by Graham Howells, Eerie Elementary by Jack Chabert Illustrated by Sam Ricks, Looniverse by David Lubar Illustrated by Matt Loveridge, Lotus Lane by Kyla May, Monkey Me by Timothy Roland, and the Notebook of Doom by Troy Cummings) . This Dragon Master series falls onto the second level. My daughter enjoyed Eerie Elementary series (took 45-60 min to read per book) and The Notebook of Doom (took 45-60 min to read per book).
The final book of the Dragon Masters, “Power of the Fire Dragon”, is fourth in this series of chapter books for younger readers. It is a story that will engage new readers and one that can be an enjoyable read-aloud for preschoolers and for kindergarteners. Tracey West has written a book involving magic dragons and diverse, multi-ethnic children who are learning to become Dragon Masters, to follow the instructions of their mentor the Wizard Griffith, and to cooperate with one another.In “Power of the Fire Dragon”, King Roland is, for the first time, publically revealing his dragons and the Dragon Masters. He will take the wizard Griffith, Bo and his dragon Shu, as well as Ana and her dragon Kepri to Queen Rose’s summer festival in the Kingdom of Arkwood. Drake and his dragon Worm and Rori, who has not yet made a connection with her dragon Vulcan, are all to remain at the castle under the supervision of the Wizard Diego. When the evil Wizard Maldred, riding his four-headed hydra, attacks, Diego, Drake and Rori must work together to save the kingdom and each other.“Power of the Fire Dragon” is an easy to read book. Chapters are not lengthy, and the vocabulary is not overly sophisticated or difficult. Sentences are simple and short; beginning readers will appreciate the less complex structure of the narrative. The subject matter of wizards and dragons fascinated my grandson who thinks some early reader books “boring”. Since discovering the Dragon Masters, he has become a huge fan of dragons. He wants to read and learn more about those mythical creatures. The books in the Dragon Masters series contain magic and action, and situations that engage and interest him. Like my grandson, I am sorry there seem to be no other Dragon Masters books to be published.
