Sargon the Not So Great

By Marie Verde

Book Overview

A tale of dragons and daring, where the fastest coward becomes the bravest hero.

Sargon has the worst superpower ever.

While other loatrons get magical gifts like super strength or beauty, Sargon's special ability makes him run away from danger. Fast. Uncontrollably. Usually in the wrong direction, leaving destruction in his wake. When you can't stop your legs from bolting at the first sign of trouble, being called a coward gets old fast.

When a dragon attacks his village, Sargon does something stupid. He promises to kill it. Now he's stuck on a quest he never wanted, armed with a stolen dagger, accompanied by friends who won't let him quit, and facing a dragon who's just eaten a phoenix and become invincible.

If your child loved HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, or THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, they'll devour this adventure of an unlikely hero who discovers that true courage comes in many forms.
