Why read it?

1 author picked Dragon School as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book had all the best parts of Pern and Harry Potter. Great character that you can identify with, cool dragons, and adventure.
It manages to be a lot of fun, and avoid all the bad repeated tropes that typically come with the genre.

The main character is someone you really want to root for, and her dragon is awesome, too. This was another one that I loved so much that bought the next book(s) in the series as soon as I was done with it.
