About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a task that feels too big for one person to handle alone or when they are transitioning into independent reading. While the stakes involve a high-fantasy battle against a dark wizard, the emotional core is about trusting your peers and staying calm during a crisis. It is a perfect bridge for kids who are ready for longer stories but still need the visual support of illustrations on every page. In this adventure, Drake and his fellow Dragon Masters must travel to the center of the earth to stop an ancient dragon from causing world-ending earthquakes. The story highlights how different strengths, from Jean's logic to Darma's intuition, are required to succeed. It provides a safe environment for 6 to 9-year-olds to explore themes of bravery and resilience without the narrative becoming overly dark or complex.
