I found this work of middle-grade fantasy rather uninspiring, and was unable to work up much interest, either in the plot resolution or in the characters themselves. My initial excitement at discovering a children's fantasy set in the American mid-west (Ohio is my birth-state), soon gave way to boredom with the bland writing and generic plotting. There is far better dragon fantasy out there, whether one is looking for the humorous (think Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles) or the epic (Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern, Laurence Yep’s Dragon books), and it is to these works that I would direct the young reader.
