About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a setback or feeling overwhelmed by a big task and needs to see a peer persevere through unexpected obstacles. While it is part of a high-action fantasy series, the heart of the story is about keeping your cool when things go sideways. Drake finds himself separated from his friends and lost in time, but he must rely on his inner strength and the help of a new dragon to find his way back. This early chapter book is specifically designed for newly independent readers who are building stamina. It balances high-stakes magical adventure with simple sentence structures and supportive illustrations. Parents will appreciate how the story emphasizes loyalty and the idea that even when you are scared, you can still take the next necessary step. It is a perfect choice for 6 to 9 year olds who love magic but benefit from a fast-paced, encouraging narrative.
