It is the middle of Summer Reading! At the library we are always so happy to see kids read so many of their favorite books over the summer. And yet, we often are sad when the exact book a child wants is the book that is checked out. For example, one book series that many kids love is Wings of Fire (which is also a graphic novel). And I get it. I have read all of the Wings of Fire books myself. But what should you do if your child is wanting to read book 14 and has to wait on hold to find out if the dragons from Pantala have safely made it to Pyrrhia? Well, if you are in this predicament, here are a few other great dragon series to hold them over. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! Happy reading!

Little, Brown and Company, 2017. 373 pages.

Granted, this isn’t a series specifically devoted to dragons; however, there is a lot of magical creatures, fantastical abilities, and a healthy amount of comedy. Readers who love the over-arching plot of Wings of Fire and how dragons must work together to overcome a greater good will enjoy this fantasy novel where Xar and Wish must overcome their differences fears to save the world. 

By Jessica Day George 
Bloomsbury, 2007. 324 pages. 

Readers who love the dragons and dragon personalities will not be disappointed with this series. Each dragon has their own preference for what they collect as treasure, their own temperament, and their own reaction to Creel. This is definitely a series for dragon-lovers.

HarperCollins Publishers, 2020. 244 pages.

Alright, here is what I hope to be the beginning of a new fantasy series—because I loved this so much! This book has magic, dragons, evil sorceresses, political entree, and lots of action/adventure. I loved that readers understood who the dragon was before the dragon even did. And really, with the heart that these characters have and the action—I will cry if there isn’t a sequel to this particular dragon book!

Review: Last One Picked

By
  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be. Not only does she feel completely out of her depth, her ex-best friend, Serena, is there- and she is not happy that Annabeth is infringing on her domain. However, with the help of some encouraging coaches and teammates, Annabeth slowly starts to realize that she doesn't mind volleyball so much, and might even have a place on the team after all. This graphic novel will hit home for many tweens, especially as it deals with several relevant topics, such as body image, gaining confidence, and how we should treat others. The illustrations were bright and colorful, and the story itself ...
