Wings of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy

So many kids are obsessed with these books and it’s easy to understand why. Adventure, prophesies, DRAGONS. One aspect of these books that makes them so appealing is that even though the main characters are all dragons, they all have thoughts, emotions, and struggles that are very relatable. It’s been a couple of years since we listened to these, but we made it through at least 10 and none of my kids ever got tired of them.

The best part of this book series is that there are so many of them. It may not be the highest quality literature, but sometimes you just want kids to get excited about a good long book series, because it means that they will read for long stretches at a time. I think this series could be it for many kids! The content is appealing to kids of all ages, but the reading level is later elementary. We listened to these books in the car, which made them accessible and enjoyable to my first grader through my middle schooler.

I listened to the first couple as well and enjoyed them too. They are filled with adventure and intriguing fantastical settings. The character development is surprisingly good for a series that seems like it is mass-produced. The relationships between the characters are believable. Eventually, I did start to tune them out as my kids listened in the car, but they went through nearly 10 before they stopped immediately requesting the next in the series.

I should mention that this series also comes in graphic novel versions as well, which is a plus! I’ve checked a couple of them out from the library. I think it helps that my kids already knew the story, but even my dyslexic child in third and fourth grade seemed to enjoy reading these. (I think it may just be me, but I typically find graphic novels confusing! Which panel am I supposed to go to next? 😂) Despite my lack of comprehension, I think turning these books into graphic novels was a brilliant decision, because it makes these appealing books accessible to even more kids.
