Why read it?
1 author picked Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a sucker for the idea of a magical book store that has wonderful things in addition to books – like a dragon’s egg, that you can actually hatch.
Having a dragon is a great way to deal with bullies. Plus, Jeremy isn’t the most clever kid. I always thought I could be having more fun than he is – if I had that dragon.
From Lois' list on middle grade dragon books.
