About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of peer influence or needs a lesson on how to support a friend who is making poor choices under pressure. While it is a high-fantasy adventure featuring dragons, the core emotional struggle involves the young Dragon Masters trying to save their friend, Diego, who has fallen under a dark wizard's spell. It is a perfect bridge for early readers who are ready for higher stakes but still need the support of simple sentence structures and frequent illustrations. This eleventh installment in the Dragon Masters series focuses on loyalty and collective problem-solving. As the heroes travel to a new land to protect a powerful silver dragon, parents will find opportunities to discuss the importance of staying true to oneself and the value of a supportive community. It is a gentle but exciting way to introduce themes of manipulation and bravery without being overly dark or overwhelming for the 6 to 9 age group.
