review: Editorial Reviews Review A New York Times bestselling series! Praise for Rise of the Earth Dragon (Dragon Masters #1): "In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabularly is accessible; sentences, paragraphs, and chapters are short; and dialogue moves the story along rapidly. Black-and-white sketch-type drawings add depth to the story and feelings to the characters (both children and dragons). Emergent readers will find happy success here." -- Booklist "The first of a new series of early chapter books, this entry is sure to attract fans. Brief chapters, large print, lots of action, attractive illustrations in every spread including a maplike panorama, an enviable protagonist -- who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Master? -- all combine to make an entertaining read. With plenty left to be resolved, the next entry will be eagerly sought after." - Kirkus Reviews "Each page features wonderfully detailed pencil illustrations which help to support the text." -- Library Media Connection Praise for BRANCHES books: "These books should be considered for larger libraries wanting to enhance their easy-reader collections." -- School Library Journal "A nice stepping stone to more advanced chapter books." -- Booklist From the Back Cover There is a Lightning Dragon on the loose! The Dragon Masters have to track it down fast-before someone gets hurt by its sparks! But they also have to find the newest Dragon Master, Carlos. He is the only one who might be able to control the young dragon. Will Carlos connect with the Lightning Dragon in time? About the Author Damien Jones spent his childhood daydreaming and drawing.
