Teachers, librarians and parents have been asking for the next step up from Magic Tree House, and here it is--a young middle grade series that bridges the gap between MTH and Harry Potter (or Eragon). While there are other dragon series for young readers (Dragon Slayers Academy, chapter books set in a fantastical middle ages, mostly humor) and other dragon hatching books (Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville) the Dragon Keepers is solidly young middle grade and very accessible.

For Magic Tree House readers who are ready for something longer, the Dragon Keepers series has the perfect length and reading level, along with the fast-paced writing, adventure, and sense of teamwork that kids love to read.

Ten-year-old cousins Jesse and Daisy have always wanted something magical to happen to them. So it's a wish come true when Jesse's newly found thunder egg hatches and a helpless, tiny, but very loud, baby dragon pops out. Soon the two kids are at the dragon's beck and call, trying to figure out what to feed her. An Internet search leads them to the library, which leads them back to the Internet, where they find a very strange Web site called foundadragon.org. Here the cousins discover that the dragon's hatching has designated them "Dragon Keepers." Not only do they have to feed the dragon, whom they named Emmy, but they also have to keep her safe from the villainous Saint George, who has kept himself alive over centuries by drinking dragons' blood!

Industry Reviews
