I love introducing children to book series. It’s heartwarming to see children come back to a subsequent edition of my reading programme bursting with excitement because they’re reading the next book of a series to which I introduced them! It’s happened with the hOle books, Amelia Bedelia, the A to Z Mysteries, Moin and the Monster … More often than I can count!
And the Dragon Masters is a fun, exciting series too! Rise of the Earth Dragon is the first of the series, the book where Drake discovers that he is a Dragon Master. But-but-but dragons don’t exist! They do? But what if he can’t connect with his dragon at all?
Rise of the Earth Dragon is a lovely story about new experiences, making friends, adventure and magic!
Here’s what we will do with it at my book club.
Diary of a Dragon Master
What if you were a Dragon Master? Write about your dragon! What is its name? What food does it like? What food does it dislike? What powers does it have? How does it talk to you? There’s so much we can do with this!
Characters
Rise of the Earth Dragon is full of all kinds of characters – mean, mysterious, brave, curious … Similar to an activity I did when we read The Sheep-Pig, let’s explore adjectives. What words would you use to describe Griffith, Worm, Drake and Bo?
The Next Book
The next book in the Dragon Masters series is called Saving the Sun Dragon. Look at the cover image. Who are the characters? What details do you notice? What do you think the book will be about? Use your imagination to write a blurb!
