I love stories that involve dragons and a magical with a touch of danger trip to another land. I loved this story and traveling along with rufus and jorie all the special unique characters that we got to meet along the way where so fun. This was the perfect middle grade book with just enough details to keep you reading along but not over bogged down like a more in depth ya or adult book would be. I really like the lessons that where found in the story and i also like the touch of hint that the story is not the end but just the start of what could be a fun series.
