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 third book in Dragon Masters Series. It has easy to follow storyline, so even if you skip the first and second 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 and 2.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). Branches series have easy to follow story lines and attractive illustrations (black and white for second level) and I highly recommend them.
My 8 year old son loves these books. This was his first time having to wait for a book to come out. He enjoys these books so much that they are a very fast read for him. He really wants to read the 4th book but it's not out until July. It's a great adventure that pulls him right into the story. As his mom I would like them to be longer. I hope Tracey West either continues this story with more books or does another like it. He also reads other stuff by her but this is his favorite.
Since one can never have too many dragon books it's nice to have a series that works well for early chapter book readers. Not only are the stories fun with lots of action but the illustrations are pretty awesome as well. The illustrations are mixed in nicely with the text making the text not so intimidating. Secret of the Water Dragon is the third book in the series and focuses on Bo and his dragon whose powers are revealed as the story progresses. Bo receives a letter that leads him to try to steal the Dragon Stone. After he tells the others why he did this, the others try to help him rescue his family and stop the dark wizard from getting his hands on the stone. A fun-filled adventure with themes of courage, friendship, and loyalty mixed in throughout the story.
This series is one of my son's favorites. The dragons are all so unique and somewhat mirror their dragon master's personalities. They all work together very well and in each story they have a new adventure featuring a different dragon. In book three we get to learn more about Shu the water dragon and find out what type of unique power he has.The book is very engaging - even as a parent I was drawn into the story. There are just enough pictures for younger readers while still keeping a detailed plot line. I have really enjoyed learning about all the dragons. Up next is the fire dragon and I bet it will be very exciting.
My son, who is 6 and in 1st grade really loves this series. He, currently, follows along while I read. However, we plan on going back thru the series and having him read, when he is ready.The books are fantasy and are fast-paced and engaging. They are also not too "scary", which my sensitive-type guy would have a problem with. Really good book series and we plan to read them all!
Can not say enough, how much my first grader loves reading these books! I like that the book fits in his hands easily, the words are large enough for him to follow along with his fingers and the pictures help encourage his imagination and help him visualize the words. This book is like the first two, about 90 pages, with black and white drawings on every other page throughout the story.
This is the only series I've ever seen my eight-year-old son read willingly. He was even like you and I read one more chapter before I go to bed. I was shocked. This is a kid who is literally I think glued to his iPad. On top of that I did notice there is not a lot of books geared towards boys. It seem to be all geared towards girls. So I was so happy to see this series not that a girl can't read it also. It just did not have a frilly wording and was not super pink.
My son has all the Dragon Masters books - reads very easy - and has cliff hanger chapters. The story takes place in a mythical Viking world where a young Viking teenager aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon trainer. (ahem, I mean DRAGON "Master") How will he train his dragon? Read the books and see.
