5.0 out of 5 stars Dragons in Our Midst, March 9, 2005
At school, Billy Bannister is called Dragon Breath because of his extraordinarily scorching breath. He has been trying to hide it from his parents but it is becoming worse recently. When Billy accidentally sets off the bathroom fire systems at school because of it, he realizes he can't conceal his problem any longer. That's when Billy's parents drop the bomb: his dad is a former dragon that has been living in human form for hundreds of year- not the sort of thing a guy is expecting to find out!

The bathroom episode has other serious repercussions too. Billy and his family's dragon heritage has been revealed to the dangerous sect of the dragon slayers who- as the name suggests- are out to kill all the dragons pretending to be humans as well as their children.

I love to read fantasy, but there seems to be so little of it in the Christian market. I am so excited to have found Raising Dragons. It is well written and a very enjoyable read. I am looking forward to reading more of the books in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy read, March 2, 2005
Even though I'm an adult, and this book is geared for kids, I really enjoyed it. A story of good vs. evil that started centuries ago and rages generations later. When Billy's world is turned upside down by a father he thought he knew, he finds himself grappling with his faith. Bonnie, an orphan in foster care, longs for friends and family that will help her bear her deep secret. Will Bonnie help Billy come to terms with the truth about his father and himself? Can Bonnie trust Billy with the secret in her ever present backpack?
Raising Dragons is the first in the Dragons in Our Midst series. I intend on reading them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! Definitely Worth Your Time!, August 27, 2004
Once I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I love reading fantasy (Tolkien, CS Lewis, Steven Lawhead, Gail Carson Levine, etc.) and this book is a great addition to the genre. It is a tantalizing and enjoying read, and thankfully there are more on the way! It also appeals to a wide age range. I'm eighteen, but my younger sister is twelve and also enthralled by it. Don't miss this book!
