The Dragon Diary by Douglas Carrel, Dugald A. Steer
4.0
Another fantastic book in this series, The continuation of the story is immediate and the danger is much more potent in his story but still maintains the middle grade writing style and thus is not scary, just intense and involves the reader into the story.
The characters are interesting and we meet a few more in this book who although the characterisation is somewhat lacking, we can tell their personality on a basic level and see who is good / bad and so forth. One aspect I particularly enjoyed in this book was the exposure to many different types of dragons whom we had previously not encountered or whom we have heard about but only meet in this instalment.
The storyline is action-packed and intense with fight scenes and escapes taking up the majority of the adventure and this is good because the fighting is specific in who is where and it's not a vague, unrealistic chapter as some books can be.
As always Daniel and Beatrice and Dr Drake do their best under the circumstances and thus results in a fun book.
The illustrations in the story are just as immersive and enjoyable as the last book and the difference in the different dragons are plain to admire. Recommended for children aged 8 and up and anyone who loves dragons / fantasy / middle grade books.
