My 11 year old son loves Dragonology and he loves this too. He was thrilled.

A delightful adventure, highly recommended

Volume two of the popular "Dragonology Chronicles" fantasy series, The Dragon Diary is a fantastic saga for dragon lovers of all ages. Twelve-year-old Daniel Cook and his sister Beatrice are studying dragonology - the science of dragons - with Dr. Ernest Drake. They especially look forward to the hatching of a dragon's egg in their care. But as rumors of a lethal plague affecting dragons worldwide spread, suspicion for the travesty falls upon the machinations of dark dragonologist Alexandra Gorynytchka. The secret to curing the sick dragons might be hidden in the "Liber Draconis", the diary of a wise dragon from a bygone era - but how are our heroes to decipher it? A handful of black-and-white illustrations round out this delightful adventure, highly recommended.
