Editorial Reviews

Review

"This first book in a new graphic series for young readers consists of six short chapters illustrated with eye-catching, action-packed illustrations and plenty of onomatopoeia to make reading fun. A promising introduction to a new series featuring a winsome group of dragon pals." - Kirkus Reviews

"Emerging readers will enjoy the fun story and friendly art while learning about helping others." - School Library Journal (Weekly Pick)

From the Back Cover

Meet Li, Runa, and Drake. They are the best of friends, and they've been waiting for Spark Day ever since they were the tiniest of dargons.

Today, with all the young dragons of Ember City, they will receive their own special Spark, or unique.

But even in the dragon world, with great power comes great responsibility, and these best friends aren't sure if their powers will unite - or divide - them.

I purchased this book for my 2 grandchildren ages 6 and 3. They really enjoyed the story and the art work is whimsical and colorful. I have read the story many times since we received the book and when it's time for the dragons to receive their "Spark"...my 3year old grandson shouts out each Spark! We can't wait for the next book!!!

Our girls, ages 7 and 9, loved this book so much. We sat down to read it and they were so enthralled they had to finish it before they went to bed. The graphics were amazing. Our 9 year old was able to recreate each of the characters. Can’t wait for book 2!
