Book Review

It was captivating, my mind went wild!

This book was amazing. It was the 2nd book in the series and I have not read the first one. This did not matter as I understood what was going on. I loved every minute of it.

There were pictures but only at the beginning of each chapter by the chapter numbers so I really had to use my imagination. I was so engrossed in the story, I could not put it down. I read it at home, in the car before and after school, before breakfast and before bed. I read it in about 3 days.

I now want to read the rest of the series.

The story speaks of a Girl, Emba, who has scary dreams. She was very brave and chose to face the scary dreams, causing her to find out some exciting things about herself. It teaches the reader to always try to find out about themselves and be true to yourself because what you find out might be magical.

It has also taught me that I don’t need pictures in a book to really enjoy it. I really liked the colour on the outline.

I would recommend this book for readers age 9-12

About the Book

That wasn’t a welcome, she realised. It was a warning.’ After the defeat of her cruel father, Emba Oak’s nights are haunted by strange dreams with beckoning dragons calling her to faraway mountain peaks.

With an ever-flowing stream of questions about her nature, her dragon fire and fury, Emba knows she must go. But can Emba control the growing powers inside her or will everything fall apart along the way?
