{My thoughts} – Drake gets to go on his first adventure with Worm alone. He doesn’t get to take any of the other Dragon Masters or Dragons with him. He isn’t sure about it at first but he thinks if it can help save the Kingdom of Bracken then it is worth it.

When Worm and him arrive in Inis Banba it is nothing like Drake had imagined. He meets the new Dragon Master named Breen and she tells him that her Dragon Fallyn won’t meet with him unless he travels through the Fairy Mound alone. She goes with him for most of the journey, but she isn’t able to help him. He goes through many different tests and some tricks, but eventually he makes his way through to meet Fallyn.

Given that he is able to prove that he is pure of heart and that he doesn’t want to use Fallyn’s magic to cause trouble or chaos, Fallyn agrees to go back to Bracken and help.

This was a really nice addition to the series. I enjoyed meeting the new Dragon Master and Dragon. I enjoyed getting to know Drake and Worm more. I really like this series as it is really well written. The story and the illustration go together nicely.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series when it is released!

My 1st grader loves this

My son got one of these dragon masters book last summer from the library for free. We only got through couple chapters in the summer as he was just picking up reading. His reading improved a lot during the year and he asked me to get him the series during the school year. We had the 12 book set since end of last year but he never got to them. Once school closed in March he started reading all of them on his own. He can now read 1 book a day (this book is 6042 words according to the AR website). He just finished this book #14 & still super interested. I like how this series has some pictures which keeps the younger ones interested and also enough words for the starting readers to practice reading. Thanks to this dragon masters series my son is getting in the habit of reading on his own without me sitting with him. And how do I know he is actually reading the words and not just browsing through while looking at the pictures? He’s passing all the AR quizzes that is associated with the books! Love it!!

Amazing for the challenged reader! (From the mom of a dyslexic.)

Scholastic's set labeled BRANCHES series are amazing books crafted to help readers transition to chapter books.
**Larger Font **Smart Word Choices **More Pictures **Interesting Stories

My daughter was a struggling reader and we came upon Dragon Masters due to my daughter's endless love for all things Dragon. At the time my daughter was 8-9 years old, absolutely loved all stories, had a high comprehension level but was struggling with reading (as a dyslexic she was playing catch up in decoding). Reading would lead to tears and frustration. Not with Dragon Masters. The design of the books gave her the freedom to read and to enjoy reading!

Dragon Masters was the first book I found her reading on her own.
I highly recommend this or other Branches books if your student struggles. Not only that, but after many hard years of work to close the reading gap, my daughter still loves this series. We buy the books the books the day they are released. Only now they simply last a day and have been read completely. Definitely a problem that this mom of a struggling reader welcomes! :)

Great first step to chapter type books. Start with Volume 1!

My 5 year old found Volume 1 in a library by chance. We took it home and read it together that day. She loved it and couldn't stop talking about it. Fast forward and we now have every single book in the series. We've probably read them all at least twice over.

These are her first chapter books. They are a great transition away from picture books. They are exciting but not scary, and leave good cliff hangers so they want to keep reading. We have been buying the books for friends' kids and they are always a hit.

Keep them coming!

My son and all his friends are in love with the Dragon Masters series. He is in second grade and an advanced reader, however I feel that these books find that sweet spot between a more challenging chapter book and a picture book, as they have illustrations on most pages to keep kids engaged and interested. He blew through this entire series and is eagerly waiting for more! The series “The Last Firehawk” is similar for anyone looking for something else while they await the new books.

Dragon Masters continues to impress

The Dragon Masters series was what convinced my son that reading is fun. He loves the characters and story lines, and actually, I do too! They're not overly simplistic, but not scary in any way. The words and language style are not complex, but not babyish either. My son started reading these books in 2nd grade at age 7 (when he was JUST beginning to read on his own), and even though he's now 8.5 and reading much longer and more advanced books, he still asks when the next Dragon Masters book will be released.

This Series Has Transformed my Young Reader

My 4th grader has trouble reading due to learning disabilities. This dragon series has completely changed his reading experience! He LOVES the plot and LOVES the generous amount of pictures throughout each book. He is so excited to read because he can't wait to continue the story. And he has reached a new competency in reading. This is the first series of books he can actually read completely independently. Reading can be so cumbersome (due to his learning disabilities), and this series has brought the joy back into reading for him! Thank you!!

My second and third graders love these books and eagerly anticipate new releases. I use the first five in small group because they are full of opportunities to hit basic comprehension skills especially inference. Teaching inference just isn’t effective whole group and these simple stories really offer multiple opportunities. I highly recommend this entire series.

Important to the future of the series

Not as action-packed as the past books, but still a Dragon Masters book and therefore read within two days. I'm anticipating it as a stepping stone to better books to come since the ending hinted toward a new adventure.
