King Widget has gone missing. It's all very mysterious, and brave young Digory has been sent off to find him. But along the way a baby dragon befriends Digory and he is soon mistaken for a wizard! Feared by the locals for his possible enchantments, he is knocked out by a clomp of earth at a mud slinging match. The next thing Digory knows is he is locked up in the dungeon of Warlock's Haunt. However, in a merry twist of fate, Digory may well have stumbled upon the very answer to the riddle of the lost king.

My 8 year old loved it,
By
This review is from: Digory and the Lost King (Paperback)
My son is in 3rd grade and loved this two book series. They are a quick read, in which he could finish this book in about two nights. It has many illustrations to keep a child interested. I haven't read it so I can't give my opinion but I atleast wanted others to know, that my child loved it. I keep looking for new authors for him and this is one I will keep an eye out for new books in his age group.
