My oldest son really loves these books and all the new dragon girls. Although it seems to be a bit repetitive to me across the stories he still enjoys them.
Since we had finished the first 15 books, my daughter was able to recognize all of the little furry animals that had shown up in all the other books. This book is about one girl who turns into a dragon and has to save all of the little furry animals that had helped the other dragons in all of the other books. This book also has a nice underlying theme about sister relationships and I think it ends very well not only between the sisters in the real world but the sister queens in the Magic Forest. This book is a little longer than the others and I think it's probably the best out of the 16 we've read.
My 6 year old and I liked this book. It was a nice long adventure. It was interesting that there was only 1 dragon to go on this quest. My daughter said, "That she liked the little questies."
