hardcover dragon masters

Today is the day! Dragon Masters: Rise of the Earth Dragon is available in your favorite local or online bookstore. In the first book of my new series, Drake is plucked from his family’s onion farm and taken to King Roland’s castle. There, he learns that he has been chosen by the magic Dragon Stone along with three others–Rori, Bo, and Ana–to become a Dragon Master. Will Drake be able to communicate with his dragon, Worm?

Here’s what Kirkus Reviews had to say about Rise of the Earth Dragon:
“The first of a new series of early chapter books, this entry is sure to attract fans. Brief chapters, large print, lots of action, attractive illustrations in every spread including a map like panorama, an enviable protagonist—who wouldn’t want to be a Dragon Master?—all combine to make an entertaining read.”

My exciting new series in August called Dragon Masters is releasing today. It’s part of the Branches line for growing readers. They’re perfect for kids transitioning from leveled readers to traditional chapter books. Learn more about the Branches line here: www.scholastic.com/branches.
