Summary: my son loved the book
Review: I disagree with Moira from Detriot. My son & nephew love the Dragon Slayers series. Getting boys to love books is a challenge. These books sparked a natural high in them. They've both been caught with flashlights reading after bedtime and lights out.

Summary: My 8 yr old son loved it
Review: I disagree with the previous review, my son loved the book. His cousin, age 7, also loved it. Harry Potter is too much for this age. Dragon Slayer's is perfect. If you find a boy with a flashlight reading after lights out, it's a hit.

Summary: my son loved the book
Review: If you are looking for a series that matches the charm and cleverness of the Time Warp Trio, or the Snarkout Boys, or Harry Potter, give this a miss. The idea is fine - a school for would-be dragon slayers, run by a fraud who has managed to hoodwink his students and (apparently) their parents. However, this is clearly a series where a clever plot device has been overwhelmed by dull writing. Characters, dialoge and resolutions of plot are predictable, and not especially interesting. I read this one, #4 & 5, and so did my 10-year-old nephew and 8-year-old niece, and then we sent the books off to the church rummage sale. They are not keepers.
