A very entertaining and satisfying ending to the first 5 book series. Sunny might be my favorite dragonet of destiny!
I liked this one. Cute and happy. Optimistic, loving. I teared up a couple times at Sunny's relentless forgiveness. And her mom is wonderful. This is a great palette cleanser. And a delightful way to end this part of the story.

The ancient prophecy said that five special dragons would be born who would bring an end to all war among the dragons and institute a time of peace and prosperity.
In this fifth book in the series, Sunny is the featured character. She is my favorite of the five in many ways. The author’s genius means she crafts characters who mirror members of her young-adult audience. Sunny’s friends love her, but they frequently underestimate her. She is the optimist in the group, the cheerful girl who comes across as someone who doesn’t think too deeply. But behind the naïve cheerful girl is fiercely loyal and will do whatever she must to preserve the welfare of her friends.
Sunny is in a bit of a crisis as the book opens. Another dragon proved that the ancient prophecy about five special dragonets who would end the war is fake. Of all the five, Sunny is the one with the most believing heart. She wants that prophecy to be true. When it is not, she must form a new identity and forge a new purpose for her youthful life.
But forming a new identity isn’t the only discovery Sunny undertakes. While attempting to save her friends from one of the evil dragon queens, Sunny discovers her biological mother, and the two form an instant bond that will pay off in the suspenseful end of the book.
Shannon McManus is the perfect choice to narrate this. She has such an impressive vocal range, and she has an innate ability to understand how to make the book even more listenable for her young audience. I very much enjoy listening to her, and I can’t imagine those who are the book’s target audience would find her narration any way objectionable.

My kids love these books. We listened to the audio of this one as well and it was enjoyable for all of us. It's still a little more graphic than I would like for my 9 year old but both kids have read these before and were still on the edge of their seats listening to it again. It's a really great bridge series for kids who are older or more advanced in their reading and able to handle a little more intense content but not quite old enough yet for young adult books.

Satisfying end to a fun series. Was great to see Sunny being so brave.
This one was easier to follow than the graphic novel of book 4, but I still wish these had more details from the books. I'm spoiled because I read the books first. This could be a great gateway for readers to discover the full novels, though.
