Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5 --Norby's many fans will enjoy this latest additon to the popular series. Cadet Jeff Wells is steamed that he must leave the Space Academy to visit the planet Jamyn for the Grand Dragon's birthday celebration. His bad mood lasts until he is sent to find the Grand Dragon's mother and bring her to the party. The Dowager Dragon, Jeff, his brother, Fargo, and Norby are soon plunged into adventure when a mysterious vapor surrounds the planet, threatening all life on Jamyn. Jeff enters into a battle of wits with the sentient cloud, but with the help of Norby and the Dowager, he rescues his brother and the planet. Young readers will be quickly engrossed in this fast-paced space opera. The writing is good, and the humor is appealing. Previous volumes are mentioned, but the book stands easily on its own. An easy, entertaining introduction to the genre for reluctant or beginning science-fiction readers. --Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library

This science-fiction story for youth is the ninth book in the humorous Norby series about a young space cadet and his unusual robot Norby. In this tale, Norby, Jeff, and others travel to the planet Jamyn to go to a birthday party for that planet's ruler, the Grand Dragon. But, soon thereafter the planet is threatened by a giant cloud that completely covers Jamyn. They also soon discover that the cloud is sentient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, May 23, 2001
A Kid's Review
Norby and the Oldest Dragon had two main characters through the whole story, Jeff Wells and Norby a robot of Jeff Wells. They travel from earth to the planet Jamyn and attend a birthday party for the Grand Dragon. When they show up Jeff and Norby go on a adventure to an island to try to bring someone back. After that something bad happens and Jeff and Norby will try to save planet Jamyn. This book was really good and fantastic but it had some very hard words so I recommend this book for someone who knows how to read really well. This book was published by Walker Publishing Company in 1990. This book has won no award.
