If your kid is into dragons and magical adventures, this quick chapter book by Tracey West hits the spot. Chaya and his dragon partner Aruna accidentally create a giant shadow stretching across the sky, and the Dragon Masters must uncover how they gained such power while other wizards are mysteriously losing theirs. The story mixes a bit of mystery with light humor, and the short chapters keep the pace moving so even reluctant readers can finish it in a couple of sittings.
