Kids on Fire: Dragonbreath Series


Ursula Vernon’s Dragonbreath series is a fun pick for early chapter book readers (grades 3 – 7) who love fantasy, comics and humor.

Dragonbreath #1 (5/5 stars, currently priced at $5.98)

Danny Dragonbreath can’t breathe fire, but he has no fear.

And that comes in handy when a bad grade at school inspires him to enlist his cousin the sea-serpent’s help with a research project.

Using a hybrid of comic-book panels and text, Ursula Vernon introduces an irresistible set of characters that will have readers laughing until smoke comes out of their noses!

 

Dragonbreath #2: Attack of the Ninja Frogs (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $5.98)

Danny Dragonbreath knows girls are nothing but trouble.

And the new foreign exchange student, Suki the Salamander, is the worst: she’s reduced his best friend, Wendell, to a blithering, lovesick tadpole.

But when a group of ninja frogs attempt to kidnap her, Danny knows he must step in.

Danny and Wendell have watched lots of kung fu movies and can totally take on a bunch of ninja frogs. Or, um, so he hopes . . .

 

Dragonbreath #3: Curse of the Were-wiener (5/5 stars, currently priced at $5.98)

Danny Dragonbreath and his best friend Wendell thought the hot dog from the school cafeteria looked a little . . . off.

Then things got weird when the hot dog bit Wendell, and weirder still when Wendell started to sprout back hair. Could Wendell be morphing into a . . . (cue ominous music) were-wiener?

All evidence points to yes. And unless he and Danny can get past the lunch ladies and slay the alpha-wurst, the whole school could be infected.

Written in Ursula Vernon’s trademark hybrid style of comic-book panels and text, this is the thrilling third book in the series. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews said Dragonbreath “will leave readers in stiches- and on tenterhooks waiting for the next one.” Curse of the Were-Wiener will make kids everywhere laugh, shriek, and take a closer look at their lunches. Perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.

 

Dragonbreath #4: Lair of the Bat Monster (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $5.98)

Danny Dragonbreath is hoping to see lots of cool bats when he and his best friend, Wendell, visit Danny’s cousin, a bat specialist in Mexico.

But he isn’t expecting to get up close and personal with a giant bat monster, who kidnaps Danny and carries him off to her lair!

Now nerdy Wendell will finally get a chance to be a hero . . . but only if he can hunt down the bat monster before she permanently adopts Danny as her bat monster baby.

Ursula Vernon has packed the fourth book in this laugh-until-smoke-comes-out-of-your-nose series with fantastic bat facts and hilarity of the highest order. Wimpy Kid fans everywhere will love this decidedly un-wimpy (but often unlucky!) dragon. Perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.

 

Note that the fifth book in the series is not yet available in Kindle format.
