Review

This is the seventh book for young fantasy readers in the Dragon Masters series. A baby Lightning dragon has hatched and is flying around creating havoc. Fire is a danger and only the baby's new Dragon Master will be able to calm him. Carlos has been identified as the new Dragon Master, but he needs convincing. As the whole team works together to make sure everyone is safe, an evil magic appears and kidnaps the baby dragon leaving a cliffhanger of an ending. Lovers of dragons in grades 3-5 will enjoy this series. The font is large and Damien Jones' black and white illustrations match the scenes described in the text. The first page of each chapter is over-designed with a special curvy dragon. It seems to add clutter to the already busy page.

Overall Book Score: good
