Dragonbreath (Dragonbreath, #1)

[Briana @ Pages Unbound]

Dragonbreath is a clever read featuring a spunky and courageous protagonist. The book is a combination of "normal" book text interspersed with comic-like pages that tell parts of the story in ways that make them easier to digest and a lot funnier. Seeing the characters in silly situations with little exclamations of woe or disgust in their speech bubbles is highly amusing! This artistic approach also heightens the reader's sense that Danny is a hero, even if he is still learning to breathe fire.

Danny is a really fun character to read about. He has an interesting sense of humor and an absolute conviction that the world is one big adventure waiting for him to find it. He never thinks he is a failure because he is a late-bloomer in the fire area or that there will be some danger too scary for him to face. His friend Wendall, an iguana, is the voice of logic in all his crazy imaginings. The two are a great pair.

Dragonbreath is quick, entertaining, and a little inspirational. It is a good book for those looking for a story told in a fresh way or who just want to go exploring the wonders and dangers of the ocean.
