Description
In a frozen kingdom, Princess Toli dreams of becoming a fierce hunter instead of the heir to the throne in this middle-grade fantasy adventure. When dragons attack and capture her mother, she sets out on a dangerous quest to rescue her, confronting the same beasts that already took her father's life. To save her family, she must place her trust in a young dragon who may hold the key to breaking the dragons' grip on her realm.
Quick Summary
Princess Toli would rather swing a spear than sit on a throne, and "Rise of the Dragon Moon" follows her as she teams up with a secretive dragon clan to protect her kingdom from a looming threat. The story blends fast-paced action with moments of humor and genuine heart, making it a great pick for kids who love fantasy adventure but also appreciate a bit of laugh-out-loud banter. It's especially good for readers who liked the dragon-centric worldbuilding of "The Dragonet Prophecy" but want a more personal, coming-of-age feel. There are a few tense, monster-filled scenes, but nothing too graphic, and the book's underlying message about friendship and staying true to yourself shines through. If your child enjoys strong female leads and magical quests, this one will keep them turning pages.
