author:  Tracey West 
description: <div>Praise for DRAGON MASTERS #1:<br>"In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabularly is accessible; sentences, paragraphs, and chapters are short; and dialogue moves the story along rapidly. Black-and-white sketch-type drawings add depth to the story and feelings to the characters (both children and dragons). Emergent readers will find happy success here." -BOOKLIST<br><br>"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 maplike panorama, an enviable protagonist -- who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Master? -- all combine to make an entertaining read. With plenty left to be resolved, the next entry will be eagerly sought after." -KIRKUS REVIEWS<br><br>"Each page features wonderfully detailed pencil illustrations which help to support the text." -LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION<br><br>Praise for BRANCHES books:<br>"These books should be considered for larger libraries wanting to enhance their easy-reader collections." -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL<br><br>"A nice stepping stone to more advanced chapter books." -BOOKLIST</div>

  The brave, burning with fire,
  
  Harnessed the dragon’s rage.
  
  The cunning, veiled from the world,
  
  Stole the shadow’s step.
  
  The gentle, blessed with life,
  
  Healed like time itself.
