Soaring to New Adventures Through Reading and Writing

Raising Dragons by Bryan Davis, is about two teenagers, Billy Bannister and Bonnie Silver, who discover they have dragon traits. If they want to survive, they’ll have to fight off the evil dragon slayers.

Billy, a normal kid, finds out he has dragon fire breath. Billy meets a girl, Bonnie who is shy because of her deformity. Their new principal isn’t very kind to them, but somehow they manage to survive the school year. With the help of a friendly teacher, Billy and Bonnie learn how to use their dragon powers.

Through Billy and Bonnie’s adventure I learned that God can give you special gifts for you to use for a certain reason and that you should never give up on God’s tasks no matter what it takes.

I think it’s cool to read a book with dragons, swords and …you name it! If you like adventure, sword fights, suspense, romance and dragons, then THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

I like Raising Dragons because of the excitement and mystery. It’s a little scary and bloody, but I couldn’t put it down. If you like dragons this would be the book for you because it isn’t the kind of dragons you would think of. In this book, the dragons are good, and they love and trust in God.

Be sure to check out the blog this weekend for an interview with author, Bryan Davis!

Well done, boys! My daughter loves these books as well. She is planning on reviewing them on her site, too. I'll let her know you're interviewing Bryan Davis. How cool!

Billy Banister is a typical teenage boy; trading tall tales with friends, occasionally late to class… and breathing fire. When Billy’s breath sets off the fire alarm in the restroom, his dad must tell him the truth about his past. This incident sparks a wild adventure full of unknown dangers. Together with the new girl Bonnie Silver, Billy is caught up in a centuries old danger. But how is his principal involved? And what is Bonnie hiding in her backpack? Read this book, the first installment of the Dragons in Our Midst quartet, and find out!
I loved how this book blended dragons, King Arthur and modern-day life. It made it seem like adventure may be just around the corner!
