Publisher Description
For Magic Tree House readers who are ready for something longer, the Dragon Keepers series has the perfect length and reading level, along with the fast-paced writing, adventure, and sense of teamwork that kids love to read.
Ten-year-old cousins Jesse and Daisy have always wanted something magical to happen to them. So it's a wish come true when Jesse's newly found thunder egg hatches and a helpless, tiny, but very loud, baby dragon pops out. Soon the two kids are at the dragon's beck and call, trying to figure out what to feed her.
An Internet search leads them to the library, which leads them back to the Internet, where they find a very strange Web site called foundadragon.org. Here the cousins discover that the dragon's hatching has designated them "Dragon Keepers." Not only do they have to feed the dragon, whom they named Emmy, but they also have to keep her safe from the villainous Saint George, who has kept himself alive over centuries by drinking dragons' blood!

"This is a great little story for the in-between age where kids can almost read by themselves, but still enjoy being read to. It's a chapter book that will keep their interest from beginning to end, even if it's read at the pace of a chapter a night. I really enjoyed reading what happened when cousins Jesse and Daisy discovered a "thunder rock," a geode that turned out to hatch a baby dinosaur. The plot is simple and fun, and all the characters except the one (very) bad guy are nice, enjoyable people."

" We listened to this one as an audiobook in the car on a trip. LORD BLESS audiobooks! Anyway, on audio, this was easy to understand and lent itself to an audio telling. Maybe about 3 hours long? The kids are 5 and 10 and enjoyed it. That was what mattered. Adults are not the target audience. "

" The kids loved it, but they're not picky. Strange that they were introduced to St. George as a villain before they knew him as a hero. They were a bit confused when I read them the story of St. George and the Dragon. "
