This was a cute kids audiobook we enjoyed. We unfortunately didn't finish it the first time was had it checked out and as a result, we had to wait a month to get it back again. It's perfect for my kids ages 6 and 8 and while I found out later that it is part of a whole series of books and this is many books into the series, I felt like it was a stand alone story. A girl, who can turn into a dragon, set out on a quest to figure out to control her shifting between human and dragon. Her cousin and friend come along on the journey. It was a great book full of some fun adventures.

Super cute! I liked that they utilized characters from the first generation, but didn't rely on them too much and spent time developing the new characters. Millie and Audun are cute, and I liked the main theme.

Baker's done it again. I really enjoyed this book even though it wasn't as good as the first 4 books :)

One of my biggest criticisms of this series is the characters didn't seem to learn anything. They kept having the same fights over and over. Since this book has all new characters, concentrating on the kids of previous characters, it's hard to know if that's gotten better or not. I do like the new characters so far and the change of pace is nice.

Sometimes I love a good fairytale. E.D. Baker is my go-to author when I'm in that mood. These books always cute and fun to read, and I appreciate knowing that I can share thenm with young readers too.

Honestly I felt like this book needed an actual plot to justify it being more than 20 pages. I couldn’t tell you what really happened in the middle. It’s missing the magic of the Frog Princess, especially since Audun falls in love with Millie at first sight. Eadric and Emma got to know each other and while he was definitely interested in her, he got to know her by the end of the book. We don’t even meet Audun until the last third of the book and he basically knows nothing about Millie. Maybe this is resolved through the other books. I think the first 2/3 could have been shortened significantly and maybe the last third should’ve been given more time to breathe/develop.
