The Dreables is an epic fantasy adventure novel by RA Jones. RA Jones has a wonderful magical touch to his writing which takes its readers right into the heart of action. Book also has charms and magic in it which is neatly described. The book is targeted for middle grades but it has the capacity to captivate a reader of any age-group.The Story of the Dreables is about a nine year old Sam Jones, and his grand-mother. Sam is the protagonist of the story and is, like any kid of nine, innocent. Sam is at his grans place for holidays and everything is going normally, apart from the small nudging feeling Sam has that, his gran is 'Different'. And while he is nowhere to solve this mystery; granny falls for the trap setup by shapeshifters... and this is where the story starts... One of the beautiful aspects of this book is, following Sam on his journey where he is trying to find his grand-mother and at the same time getting to know the world which is full of magic.Critically, this book teaches youngsters not just the value of family/elders but also make them aware of tough life and teaches them to be responsible for their own actions, and thus making this book one of the best book a middle ager ever reads.And on the concluding notes, i will just say that this is the book which will teach you load's of things without you knowing it. Although this book is super great i have my fingers crossed for other books in the series, "Merryweather Mysteries". But for the time being this book deserves it's 4 out of 5 star rating.
