This is a well-written, exciting story of a homeless boy who befriends a dragon and joins him on his quest to find a home safe from humans. There are many exciting adventures and mythical beasts, without the darkness and fear factor of Harry Potter and other fantasy books for older readers.

A great read-aloud for the 7-10 year old audience!

I liked the story, but I wasn't extremely impressed with the book. Some of the events just seemed to happen a little too smoothly (they'd meet exactly the type of person/creature they needed at exactly the moment they realized they had a need).

I couldn't finish this. It had the same jokes all thru the chapters I read, and the characters had one or two aspects that were used over and over. The story seemed to run on plot only. It would probably work for very young independent readers. Lots of repetition for them. My older readers found it trite. But then, in comparison, my 10 yr old reads Lord of the Rings and my 13 yr old reads Eragon. So like I said, this would work better for s struggling reader, or one who is young and wants to try a thick book for the first time.
Story about boy and dragon and their journey, with characters along the way to guide, criticize, or be evil at them.
