This book is brilliant. Tao a monk of the Yinmi monastery finds himself confronted one night with a glowing green dragon. Tao reluctantly allows himself to be pulled with the green dragon Kai into the dangerous world of bloodthirsty barbarians, deadly dragons and sacred treasures. This book has made the Dragonkeeper series even more renowned for its cleverness, exciting adventures and its creative ideas. I think the author Carole Wilkinson has created a true masterpiece. You can enjoy this marvelous book even if you have not read the others.

The Apothecary is a fantastic book told about the period after the end of World War II. Janie comes from Hollywood to London because of the U.S government. Almost immediately she becomes friends with the Apothecary’s son, Benjamin. Then the Russian spies arrive taking the Apothecary and leaving Janie and Benjamin to find and recue Benjamin’s dad and guard the mysterious book, the pharmacopoeia. Along the way they use some of the book’s magic potions, escape from their Latin teacher Mr. Danby and travel on a boat all the way to the waters of Russia to contain an atomic bomb, all with the powers of the Pharmacopoeia. I would recommend this novel to anyone over the age of 10. You will find it is one of the most clever and exciting books you have ever read.

This is absolutely awesome! Connor, also known as Con-Nerd, wants to become an artist but his mum will do anything for him to be a doctor. But when Connor goes to the art competition his mum starts to understand him. This book shows that if you want something, you should never give up. I would recommend this book to kids of 8-12. It was one of my favourites.
This book is brilliant! Sam, an untrained apprentice, runs away from his dead master’s house trying to escape other wizards and unknowingly escaping a great evil. At the very end Sam risks his life to perform magic to help his friends. This book just keeps getting better and better as you read it. I would recommend it to people who like magic and adventure.

This is a great book for people who love mystery, adventure and fantasy together. The unusual animals, such as the frightening Brizzlehounds and the unnerving Slaughterbirds are awesome..

I absolutely loved this book!
I liked how the author fits the story with the original story of Odysseus's travels. I also liked the way everything seems to work out for the 4 heroes and then everything goes wrong again!
