Orphaned twice by the time he was nine, he was living on the streets
and did not even know his own name. He was not allowed to set foot inside
the one place he was determined to find work. To complete the disaster
of his young life, the object of his affections was Star, an immense,
emerald-green dragon.
But, good fortune finally smilled upon him: Star was a Luck Dragon.
Suddenly he was admitted as a barn boy into the elite Dragon Compound.
He was given three warm meals a day, work, and even a name. And best
of all, Star took him on as his secret apprentice.
The Dragon Boy is enjoyable for any age from 4th grade and
up. In the classroom or at home, teachers and parents can easily read
it to their students. It is useful as a reader in the fifth or sixth
grade to stimulate conversation around good and evil, bullying, finding
a purpose in life, destiny, perseverance, and above all, courage.
