Fantasy. Juvenile Fiction. HTML: For Magic Tree House readers who are ready for something longer, the Dragon Keepers series has the perfect length and reading level, along with the fast-paced writing, adventure, and sense of teamwork that kids love to read. TEN-YEAR-OLD COUSINS Jesse and Daisy have always wanted something magical to happen to them. So it's a wish come true when Jesse's newly found thunder egg hatches, and a helpless, tiny but very loud baby dragon pops out. Soon the two kids are at the dragon's beck-and-call, trying to figure out what to feed her. An Internet search leads them to the library, which leads them back to the Internet, where they find a very strange Web site called "foundadragon.org." It is here that the cousins discover that the dragon's hatching has designated them "Dragon Keepers" and that not only do they have to feed her, but they have to keep her safe from the villainous Saint George who has kept himself alive over centuries by drinking dragons' blood.

It's ok but for me I didn't get into it. If you like dragons and adventure and fantasy then this is the book for you. For me, I think I am just to old. (

This is a delightful adventure for young readers. It's perfect for the child who's done with "Magic Tree House" but isn't quite ready yet for older kids' fare like "Harry Potter" or "Percy Jackson." The dragon of the title is adorable and funny and kids will want one of their own after reading this. I think I might have to check out the next book in this series just to see what happens next. As an addendum, I do find it strange that a saint is the villain of the story, but maybe that's just me. (

Cute kid's story, with an interesting premise (a dragon hatches from an apparent geode, and is hunted by a mysterious man and protected only by two children) but not enough depth to it to catch me. The kids were rather too simplistic; Emmy was conveniently ignorant, and the website was conveniently silent, over and over. Lots of unanswered questions - from the "garden gnome" to the "magical", and apparently ancient, ball; what St. George will actually do, since he's currently stymied; what will happen when "Fluffy" gets to be the size of a car, in a few months; and what the guy with the website is actually up to (besides doing unexplained magic with computers). It's clearly the first of a series, but I have no interest in finding any of the others. It might be more interesting to young children, but I think even 10-year-olds (the age of the protagonists) would find it shallow and childish. (

I enjoy children's books almost as much as their intended audience, but perhaps I am being too harsh, but I didn't find this book particularly interesting. Written fairly well with a strong opening, but still I found that it spoke down to the reader, as opposed to speaking to them. (

10-year-old Jesse is staying with his cousin Daisy while his parents are out of the country. When what he thought was a geode hatches a dragon, he and Daisy are swept up in an adventure as they attempt to care for Emmy, the hatchling, and protect her from the evil Dr. St. George. It takes all their wits to rescue Emmy from his evil clutches, and the story ends with the promise of more adventures in a sequel. Fun, light-hearted fantasy for third and fourth graders, although older readers will want a little more substance and suspense. (
