Class Trip to the Cave of Doom #3 (Dragon Slayers' Academy) [Paperback]

Kate McMullan (Author), Bill Basso (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up | Series: Dragon Slayers' Academy

The Dragon Slayers' Academy is back-and it's bigger and better than ever! The books have new covers and are now 112 pages long. Expanded from the old 96-page format, they now feature a fun Dragon Slayers' Academy Yearbook at the end of each story, with funny profiles of the faculty, the staff, and, especially, the students of D.S.A. All the things kids want to know about their favorite characters are revealed: their silly nicknames, inner secrets, wildest dreams, and lofty plans for the future!

The Dark Forest just doesn't seem like the best place for a class trip. But that's where Seetha the dragon hid her gold, so that's where Wiglaf and the other kids from D.S.A. have to go-even if it means entering the booby-trapped Cave of Doom!

Illustrated by Bill Basso.

4.0 out of 5 stars My 8 yr old son loved it, May 4, 2000

This review is from: Dragon Slayers' Academy 3: Field Trip to the Castle of Doom (Hardcover)

I disagree with the previous review, my son loved the book. His cousin, age 7, also loved it. Harry Potter is too much for this age. Dragon Slayer's is perfect. If you find a boy with a flashlight reading after lights out, it's a hit.

This review is from: Dragon Slayers' Academy 3: Class Trip to the Cave of Doom (Paperback)

I disagree with Moira from Detriot. My son & nephew love the Dragon Slayers series. Getting boys to love books is a challenge. These books sparked a natural high in them. They've both been caught with flashlights reading after bedtime and lights out.

Dragon Slayers Academy books are enjoyable books that helped my kids realize pictures aren't as important to a book as a good story.
