Review "A misfit dragon's uphill climb to graduate from Dragon Academy takes an unexpected turn in this fine children's fantasy. Ryan, the author of a Caribbean-inspired trilogy for adults, deftly layers her debut children's book with gentle but effective lessons in empathy and friendship. Throughout this light, lively fantasy, she offers colorful imagery, lightly spun with messages of compassion and respect for others. An engaging story of a sensitive dragon who finds his strength and courage." - Kirkus Review About the Author Nora Ryan's three previous works have been in adult fiction. Her Caribbean trilogy, inspired by her time living and traveling in the Caribbean is an exploration of social issues and spiritual themes. Dragon Quest takes her on a new journey as she travels into the mysterious and limitless world of fantasy. It is a world where young minds can expand and imagine a world full of possibilities, a world where they can reflect on their own challenges and the gifts that have been given them to meet these challenges and to pursue their own life quests. www.noraryanbooks.com
