The Secret Dragon – Reviews

I’ve been delighted by the response to my first children’s book, The Secret Dragon, and thank you to those of you bought it – for children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and even yourselves. I’ve had some lovely reviews. Here are a few snippets from just a few:


The Secret Dragon is a brilliant choice for a read-aloud, with its short, lively chapters, and itโ€™s just as perfect for early readers (and grown-ups too!).

*

This is a delightful read with magic, plenty of action, and a dragon!

*

My 9 year old granddaughter read the book to her younger sister who absolutely loved it!!!

*

The pacing worked well throughout and the concept of an epic, magical world was skilfully made accessible to a young audience by the writer.

*

It is beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging style.

*

With a magical world, a wicked witch, and the promise of an army of nasty creatures, thereโ€™s lots to appeal to the younger reader โ€“and the cliffhanger ending is a nice setup for book 2!

*

An enchanting story for children aged 5-7. A dragon at the bottom of the garden and clues to solve – irresistible.

*

This is such a charming book! The story transported me back to my childhood, and itโ€™s exactly the sort of fantasy I wouldโ€™ve read to my daughter when she was little.

*

I bought this for my great nieces aged from 4 through to 10. They all adore it and have already asked me, “When is the next one Auntie Jammie?”

If you did buy the book and haven’t done a review yet, I’d be very grateful for one. But there’s no pressure to. If you haven’t bought the book and this has piqued your interest, here are the details:
