Dragon Masters, Books 1-5: A Branches Box Set

My husband picked up the first Dragon Master book on a whim at our local public library, and from that first reading, my daughter has been hooked on the series...for over a year! We’ve read almost every book in the series at this point, and she’s eagerly awaiting the release of future books.Things to love:- Dragons, of course, in varying shapes, sizes, colors & talents- Diverse cast of kids/characters from a variety of (fictional) countries/cultures- Fun to read (and act) out loud (although we had to tone down our interpretation of Maldred a little bit ) ^_^- Has themes of friendship, teamwork, and wanting to make the world a better place- While (so far) each book has been formulaic with a new Dragon Master/dragon introduced with each book, there are story arcs that span several books (builds anticipation and interest, encourages reading comprehension and paying attention)

I bought these for my husband to read to my four year old before bed. So far she is obsessed! The chapters are short enough that reading 2-3 a night is perfect. The illustrations are great! My daughter really looks forward to them and talks about them all day.

I purchased this series for my nephew for his birthday. He is in the 2nd grade and is reading at about a 3rd grade level. From past experience, I KNEW that this would be a great purchase. I work as an elementary school librarian and we CANNOT keep these books on the shelf!!! The kids love them!

After he read the first book in class, he begged me to get him the next in the series so he could find out what happens next. My son could read, it was just that nothing really motivated him enough to WANT to read until he found these books about the different dragons. Cut to the end of summer - he’s has read nearly 45-50 books and devoured the first 18 in this series between others. Sometimes 2 a day. This super active, “I need you to pay attention to me” kind of kid now reads when he’s waiting, for quiet time, in bed, in the car, at coffee shops while I’m reading, etc… it’s been a huge transformation. I believe these books were interesting and gave him the confidence to read. He started with magic treehouse books and while interesting, the smaller font and many pages seemed daunting to finish so, this was easy to read, has occasional pictures to help build the imagination, and a fun story to keep things interesting. Now he reads just about anything he has laying around.Please note: while these books have wizards in them, it wasn’t a magical spell that made my kid fall in love with reading. I read and he see me hold books - not my phone/kindle. I made going to the book store a special thing for him after he finished reading 2 books, we got more. It was worth the “inconveniences“ to me.

The media could not be loaded. I’m a mom of four, and let’s just say I was desperate for something new after what felt like a lifetime of Captain Underpants.Dragon Masters was a total win! The stories are exciting, the chapters are short (perfect for bedtime), and my kids love that each dragon has its own special powers. I grabbed this series as an Easter basket gift and it a total hit with my 6 and 8 year old-we just finished the last book!Highly recommend — my kids love it, and I actually enjoy reading it too!

These are fun books. They are very engaging and perfect for an emerging reader. My son is 7, going into 2nd grade and reading at a 3rd grade level. I would say they are perfect for this reading level. They offer a little challenge but are easy enough to build confidence.

My son love reading these

These are the first books my son was able to read on his own!
