"I bought all four books in this series for my friend's daughter and decided to read them before I gave them to her. Despite the fact that these are for young readers, I still enjoyed each of the stories :) and Thief of Dragons was my favorite. I loved the characters and world building, and each book feels rich despite how short it is. Also, the illustrations are great! I love the style. I know my friend's daughter is going to love these books!"

Eighth-grader Syah Walker knows exactly what it's like because, as a peer counselor at Emdaria North Middle School, she does just that.
