I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Search For Synergy by Brett Slater is about two unlikely boys forming a friendship and learning how to defend the world together.

Does Rome believe what Julian and Mr. Jones tell him about being a dragon?


Rome Lockheed and Julian Rider


Rome Lockhead has been feeling cooped up and he needs to expel this energy that surrounds him. He wants to be set free. Well, Rome got more than what he bargained for when Rome learns what Julian and Mr. Jones have to tell him. Rome has to learn how to control his newfound abilities and past before evil is brought forth again. Mr. Lockheed is one of those characters thrust into this battle of good vs evil while having to deal with controlling his dragon side and keeping it from popping out. If I were to see Rome on the streets I wouldn't have thought that he was a dragon just a kid that might need some guidance.

Julian Rider is a knight and has known that he was his entire life. Jules has to convince Rome to go into battle with him and complete this synergy thing that only a knight and dragon can accomplish to defeat evil. One thing that neither boy considered was keeping this a secret from Julian's dad. Once they figure out how to do the synergy. These two have a long way to go to be battle-ready for the eventual fight against evil. They especially need to learn to work as a team.

These two boys seem like they would never be friends at first glance and that they would have nothing in common. Well, still correct on that but now they have a common goal of protecting Earth from evil. Will the two boys be able to do everything that they set out to do at the beginning of the book? Go pick up your copy to find out.

Five Stars


My rating for The Search For Synergy by Brett Slater is five stars and I'm recommending it to anyone that has middle graders that love dragons or anything in the fantasy realm. Mr. Slater did a good job of writing this book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. It is that good. Mr. Slater has a way of transporting you to a small town in Georgia to be with Rome and Julian to cheer them on for everything they start together.
