Review: I simply can't say enough about Carol Fenner's "The King of Dragon's." It's a wonderful story about the ceaseless wonder of childhood in the midst of a life filled with terrible loss, poverty and uncertainty. The very opposite of cynicism, this book presents the most compelling case for genuineness, optimism and hope one is likely to run across at the end of the twentieth century.

Review: I thought I might be a bit old for a book like this, but since I was running out of things to read I ordered it from a book club. At first the novel was a little boring, but soon it grew on me. I love it! With mixed reluctance and eagerness, I finished the story today. Ian was ingenious, surviving as he did for so long. He bravely faced life without his father. The way that they'd lived in the old courthouse was interesting. When Mr. Bayless left and the place was converted into a kite museum, the boy spied on the workers until he knew them intimately. Like the reviewer below said, Ian didn't become pessimistic over his traumatic life. He inspires hope. You'll enjoy reading about his adventures. I reccomend "King of Dragons" to anyone!

Review: The King of Dragons is a pretty exciting book about an eleven year old boy named Ian. His dad was a Veitnam Veteran. They are homeless so the live in an abandoned court house. One day Ian's dad leaves And doesn't come back. Ian has to survive on his own in hope of the returning of his father. Strangers come to the courthouse while Ian spies on them and listens to their plans of making a kite museum out of the courthouse. What will Ian do about these intruders. I thought that this book was kind of long and it was a little boring. I would recommend this book to someone who isn't really an action kind of person.
