A note for parents

Dragonborn is an action-packed fantasy adventure centered on a girl discovering her dragon powers and finding belonging at a magical academy. The story emphasizes self-discovery, overcoming fear, and friendship, with age-appropriate fantasy conflict. While there is mention of war and dark factions, the description does not suggest graphic or pervasive violence. The book appears well-suited for middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy adventures like Percy Jackson or How to Train Your Dragon.

New York Times Bestseller! An astonishing new fantasy series takes flight in this soaring, action-packed adventure filled with twists and surprises. The secret world of dragons is waiting for you! *This stunning book features a dragon-scale edge, full-color illustrated endpapers, a foil scene on the case, foil on the jacket, and an interior map* There is a secret world of dragons that lurks at the edges of our own. But dragons also live among us. These Slumberers have been human for so long they have forgotten their true selves—until something awakens the dragon within. Twelve-year-old Alex Evans is about to wake up. Ever since her father’s death, Alex’s overprotective mother has smothered her with unbreakable rules and unspoken fears. Feeling trapped, Alex’s frustration has become too big to hide away. Burning inside, she erupts into a fierce, fiery roar. A new school and a new life await Alex on the legendary island of Skralla, one of the last surviving dragon havens. There, she will train alongside other young dragons who are wild, untamed, and—unlike Alex—skilled at transforming and embracing their dragons within. As dark factions begin to rise, Alex finds herself in a race to unlock her long-dormant power before Drak Midna, the greatest dragon of all, rises again to wage war against the human world.
