MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:

In this novel by Julia Suzuki, we are transported to the magical world of Dragor where seven different clans of Dragons live hidden from the humans that use to enslave them. This novel is centered around a young dragon named Yoshiko, who is just starting school and gets bullied for being different by another young dragon Igorr, whose clan thinks it's superior to Yoshiko's.

At the beginning Yoshiko lets the bully get to him, but when he has finally had enough and takes off to get away from everything. He unconsciously ends up in the forbidden mountain where he meets Guya and elder dragon everything changes from that point. He no longer lets Igorr's taunts get to him instead Yoshika starts training with one of the best Dragon Guard for a great adventure that he has no idea lays ahead of him.

I really enjoyed this novel. It's beautifully written, Julia she describes the world so perfectly and vividly, and the dragons I couldn't get enough of them I loved how all seven clans had their own backstory, color, and they were just perfect. This book also sends a strong wonderful message to children about bullying and that being different is not a bad thing and that you don't always have to follow the crowd. This book is definitely a must read for all ages. I can't wait for the next book, Julia left me wanting more of this beautiful magical world full of amazing dragons.
