Review
This is the number 16 of the Dragon Slayers' Academy series by Kate McMullan. This book has most of the element what young boy readers would like, laughter, dragon, knight, hero, students at their age and fantasy background. The storyline did not surprise me and is somewhat predictable. A group of youngsters trying to solve a problem that matters to them. I think a predictable storyline is actually suitable for young tweens. Keep it straightforward, and readers can be more focus on reading. The details, on the other hand, actually surprised me, such as the weakness of a dragon is rhyme and a dragon has fake fangs. Readers will laugh because of these details.
