The Dragon in the Volcano by Kate Klimo

Everyone has a pet dragon that can shape shift into a sheepdog, right???


Random House sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you).  It's the 4th in the Dragon Keepers series and they are all good fun to read.  You can buy this one at your local bookstore right now.


Jesse and Daisy knew that Emmy's garage was getting a bit small for her as she keeps growing, but they never expected her to take off and try to find her own shelter.  The only saving grace was that she left them a trail of socks, sort of like Hansel and Gretel's bread crumbs.


They check in with their odd babysitter before they leave, and she gives them something to take along on their trip.  They have no idea what it is and she offers no explanation, just tells them they will know when it is time to use it.  So, with a bit of magic, they take off on their quest of locating Emmy.


What they discover is fantasy at its best.  If your child has any imagination at all, they'll find this book great fun.  It's fast paced, has danger, and Jesse and Daisy fight enemies and make new friends.  It's for ages 8-12.


Happy reading!
