<p><b>A <i>New York Times</i> bestselling series!</b></p><p> </p><p><b>Praise for <i>Rise of the Earth Dragon</i> (Dragon Masters #1):</b></p><p> </p><p>”In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabulary 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.” — <i>Booklist</i></p><p> </p><p>”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.” — <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p>_x000D_
