How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe perfect series for my son
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017
My first grade son was reading competently but slowly and without enthusiasm. He viewed reading as a chore, not a pleasure, and he never chose to read on his own. I tried to find books to spark his interest. Nothing was working until I bought Book 1 of the Dragon Masters series. I can't explain why, but he was crazy about this book from the first moment I handed it to him. For the first time, he sat down with the book, perused it curiously, and then started reading on his own. He read the entire book in two days, and he was so proud of himself for finishing a chapter book! He loves the characters, the illustrations, and the stories. He has now read Books 1-4, and he likes to talk about the books and act out the stories. Now, he is reading anything and everything I give him. For my son, these were the books that broke down his reading barrier. If you have an early elementary reluctant reader, I highly recommend giving this book a try. It is hard to find well-written chapter books for emergent readers, especially for boys. This series is truly the jackpot!

3.0 out of 5 starsFine- Except for one thing....
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021
Fine, not great. Didn’t like the (pointless?) chapter where Drake is encouraged to keep secrets from his family and his mother in particular. That, to me, is not a great message. The entire chapter could have been left out, omitting the message, and it would have made NO difference to the story as a whole. Glad I read the book before I read it to my kids; I just skipped the chapter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great... but willing to continue with the series
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020

From a literary perspective? Meh... not an entirely imaginative or original story. The writing leaves much to be desired. For example, there are many instances where where each sentence is the exact same length. The text lacks variations in structure, making it dull to read out loud to my six year old. That being said, I imagine it would be easy for someone new to reading chapter books to tackle independently. Additionally, my six year old is loving listening to the story and looking at the illustrations.

I bought this hoping to find a series of books my son would like. My son said it was easy to read but was pretty dull. Live and learn

My son read this book but did not ask for any more in the series. We tried out several Branches Book series and he loves Eerie Elementary though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple storytelling
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2014
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I picked up this book because my daughter loves the How To Train Your Dragon series, and I thought another fantasy series might appeal to her. We both really enjoyed the illustrations in this book, but the writing was less engaging.

The story is told in mostly simple sentences that seem rather stilted. This might appeal to new readers, but it's not going to do much to engage them or to build their literacy skills. The plot was easy enough to understand, but not particularly challenging, and again, the simplicity of the sentence structure was just not fun.
