About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with poor sportsmanship or when friendly games at home frequently devolve into heated arguments. This Skylanders adventure addresses the friction that occurs when individual desire for recognition gets in the way of a shared goal. While the setting is a high-fantasy world of magic and dragons, the core conflict is one every modern parent recognizes: the moment a child's competitive drive turns into exclusionary behavior. The story follows Spyro and his dragon companions as a casual afternoon of play turns into a power struggle. When an outside threat emerges, the group realizes they cannot succeed alone. It is an excellent choice for reluctant readers who enjoy video games, providing a familiar entry point to discuss how to pivot from rivalry to cooperation. It models how to apologize and reset after a moment of jealousy.
