Product Information

DRAGON MOUNTAIN has all of my favourite things! A rich mythology and a tale of friendship, snarky dragons and daring deeds...this is the kind of breathless tale that leaves you hungry for the next instalment' – Roshani Chokshi, author of the ARU SHAH series Imagination knows no limits in this fantasy adventure. The story is an endless place for exploration and discovery.’ The Independent Liu Ling-Fei is Chinese and often willing to share her culture (which makes sense, considering they’re at a Chinese language camp). She’s quite and soft-spoken, a bit of a loner, until she really starts coming out of her shell. Out of all of them, she’s the kind-hearted one of the group—always thinking of others, putting others first.

Dragon Realm Series by Katie and Kevin Tsang

Not gonna lie, it’s probably easy to tell who my favorite was, because he appears in almost all of my favorite quotes. What can I say? I never claimed not to play favorites. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean, the dragons help, sure. Who could resist a whole world full of them? But there are so many other really freaking cool things that exist in the Dragon Realm. You know, like a lake that smells (and tastes) like lemon water! Along with quite a few other really neat things that I don’t want to talk too much about because they might be spoilers. Needless to say, it’s a magical realm. And boy does it live up to that.

The Tsangs do a wonderful job of inviting readers into the Dragon Realm and giving them the full experience. Yes, there are some dark things to be encountered there. It’s not a great time for the realm, after all. Despite that, though, there are some beautifully described scenes that make me wish I was there! Plus, the place has a deep history (as you might expect). I loved the little snippets of lore and legend and nuggets of the history of the realm that made it feel like a real place. When 12-year-old Billy Chan finds out his parents are sending him to a summer camp in middle-of-nowhere China, he doesn't know what to expect. There he meets fellow campers Dylan, Charlotte, and Ling-Fei, and together they stumble upon an age-old secret: there are four powerful warrior dragons hidden deep within the mountain behind the camp! They need the children's help to set them free before terrible evil in the guise of the Dragon of Death is unleashed upon the earth. Billy and his friends must set off on a dangerous adventure that will take them to the heart of the Dragon Realm. But can they save the dragon and human worlds from destruction? Rating: This is a squad of characters that readers will love. They’re all very different, but they bring their own unique thing to the group. Plus, who doesn’t love a little team banter?! By the end of book one, things are rolling, and they just smash through books two and three, where the reader is swept from one thing to another in all its fast-paced glory. The authors do a wonderful job of building up tension and stakes that’ll have you biting your nails wondering how the characters will get out of this one.

DRAGON MOUNTAIN has all of my favourite things! A rich mythology and a tale of friendship, snarky dragons and daring deeds…this is the kind of breathless tale that leaves you hungry for the next instalment’ – Roshani Chokshi, author of the ARU SHAH series Embark on a courageous quest to free these majestic creatures from their enduring agony. The destiny of our world now rests in your capable hands. An immersive odyssey through the mystical Dragon Realms awaits. Charlotte Bell, on the other hand, may be a little harder to love for some. She’s very loud and outspoken, highly competitive, and slightly full of herself. She’s used to doing a lot and being good at what she does, and she wants everyone to know it. Charlotte is a kid used to getting her way and very much not accustomed to failure. When push comes to shove, though, she puts her friends first and is willing to do the difficult things that others may not. A soaring, sizzling, fire-breathing gem of an adventure story' – Abi Elphinstone, bestselling author of SKY SONG

Twelve-year-old Billy Chan and his friends each share a bond with a dragon. When new dragons fall from the sky into the Human Realm, the group join forces to reunite them with their lost egg. But the Dragon Realm is filled with dangerous golden elixir, magical creatures and threats lurking round every corner. Can our heroes accomplish their mission, or will they fall at the last hurdle? I will admit that the first one is a little slow, necessarily so. It takes place mostly in the real world, and it’s setting up the premise for the whole series. Fairly common first book syndrome. But hey, you know there’s going to be dragons at some point, so that’s always worth the wait, right? Brimming with warmth and originality, DRAGON MOUNTAIN combines edge-of-your-seat adventure, laugh-out-loud humour and hugely exciting dragons to create a sweeping fantasy that will captivate readers of all ages.’ – Catherine Doyle, author of THE STORM KEEPER’S ISLAND
