Awesome adventure!

Review by Hudson

Anya and the Dragon is a great book. It had a fabulous adventure in it and a great plot. I would recommend it to people who like dragons and/or magic and friendship.

Action, adventure, friendship, and fun

Review by LTinuviel

This is an amazing fantasy adventure set in an alternate Eastern Europe. It alternates between funny interactions between spunky, resourceful Anya and her goofy friend Ivan (the son of a professional fool) and suspense: how will Anya raise money to save her family's home without putting her new dragon friend Hakon in harm's way? Plus, if you know and love goats, the writer does too!

This is the first book in the series and I liked it so much that I went looking for the second one in the library.

Not good

Review by Ificouldrewritethestars

I say for younger readers it’s actually a little bit creepy and even I found it a little creepy and I never really finish the book not a great book for young readers
