Reach for this book when your child is navigating feelings of being an outsider or searching for where they belong in a world that feels unfair. Dragon's Fire is a gripping fantasy adventure that follows three young people: Pellar, a mute tracker, Halla, a girl struggling with extreme poverty, and Cristov, who is trying to redeem his family name. Together, they must stop a greedy villain from hoarding the minerals needed to save their planet from a deadly aerial threat. It is a story about the strength found in unlikely alliances and the power of individual integrity. This book is an excellent choice for children ages 10 to 14 who enjoy high stakes and complex world-building.

It offers a sophisticated look at social justice and environmental responsibility, making it a wonderful catalyst for family conversations about what it means to be a hero in your own community.
