Customer Reviews

I HIGHLY recommend all of the DROON series!

So far, my son and I have read most of the series and he always is eager to start the next book. Great in between series for kids that are younger but like a story with kids who beat the bad guys, save the day and have the magic and excitement without being too scary. I'd recommend it for any kids 8 to 10 or so and probably both boys and girls would enjoy the series since there are both boys and girls as characters, equally saving the day!

Search for the Dragon Ship

This book Search for the Dragon Ship by Tony Abbott is certainly one of the best Secrets of Droon books. There's more action, mystery, and adventure. The best part of this book to me is when Eric, Neal, Julie, find princess Salamandra. The part where there's the most action. The pictures are sketched nicely and the cover drawing is exellent. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because when you're reading from the start of the book, and finishing it all you do is just go around in circles. First check it out at the library, and if you like it, then buy it.

A fun book

This was a fun book, and if I had read it before reading King Fortis the Brave I might have given it five stars. But because I read it after finishing King Fortis, which was superior in many ways, the best I could do was four.Still, that's not to say that this book does not have a lot going for it, and that Abbott isn't a very good writer. If you're looking for a young adult fantasy novel and you haven't read King Fortis yet, try that first. But if you've already read King Fortis the Brave and are looking for another good romp through a fantasy world, you can do a lot worse than this book!
