Book Review

a fantastic, amazing and brilliant story

I think this is a wonderful book and I would recommend this novel for people who are very confident readers as there are some tricky words.

I would probably say this is for people who like adventure and ages 7 and over. I liked the way the author described the setting and what’s happening.

It is a great book, but I would suggest you read the first two books in the series before the Dragon Stone to understand everything that’s going on.

This is a fantastic, amazing and brilliant story, I really enjoyed it.

About the Book

As the Ninth Dreamer, Jayben is the only one who can defeat Null, the evil villain who has been making everyone in the Elf World forget. But the crystals that give Jayben his power are quickly fading, and he needs to uncover the missing words from the Book of Dreamers to finally free everyone from Null’s curse.

When Jayben finds an electrifying blue stone, he quickly learns that it can transport him anywhere in the blink of an eye – but it can be dangerous unless used properly.

Hearing of a magical elixir that can restore his crystals to full strength, Jayben sets out on a quest with his friends to find it and the missing words.

But Null’s ally is racing to get to the elixir first and the words are scattered across the five realms of the Elf World. And it seems as if something – or someone – is preventing Jayben from succeeding.
