Like the rest I to would have given this book 5 stars except for one thing. What the hell happened at the end? It completely leaves you hanging, and I've been looking all over for a sequel which evidently doesn't exist. My theory is that the writer had every intent on writing a sequel, but I guess, the book must have done so poorly in the stores that it persuaded her not to do a sequel.

I read this book back in Junior High, and I loved it so much that I've been looking out for a sequel ever since. (I am now years past Junior High...) Why wasn't there ever a sequel??

I can't remember where I got this book, but it doesn't matter. I loved this book. My twin sister even loved this book, and she hated to read. The book is about three children. The three children. The three children gave me the ability to place myself among them, instead of just reading about them. I put myself in the place of the children, and seen myself doing what they were doing. It was great for my imagination. The ending of the book kind of left me hanging there wondering what would happen next, but like I said, it increased my imagination. I took over and made my own ending, which I thought was perfect.
The children had this egg they had to care for, while they went looking for another dragons egg, which someone evil had. So this book puts the child in a place where they are the ones on the good side.
Rose Estes put herself in the childs shoes as she wrote this book. She wrote from her childhood memories and how she wanted to read a book as a child. And she did a fantastic job at it. I would not change a thing about this book. Its easy to read, it catches the childs attention, and pulls the child into the book. There is nothing complicated about it. I give this book my highest rating.

This is a great childrens book, very imaginative. I enjoyed the story about the dragon keeper and his children haveing to go and live with the dragon. This book was the very first dragon book i'd ever read and ever since i've been in love with dragons. When ever I think of dragon ranks for books I think blackto be most powerful and evil, red, medium power level and then the purple one or blue i can't remember was the weakest and a runt.

I read this book in a library several years ago and I loved it. It's about three children trying to save a dragon's egg. The dragon had been the protector of the city that the children lived in, and the people would pay taxes of gold (for its hoard) and the Dragonmaster (who is also the 3 kids father) would care for and handle it. But then one day the dragon laid eggs, and the citizens were furious about the raise in taxes that would mean. They went up to its cave, killing the dragon and smashing its eggs... exept for one. The three kids (two boys and a girl) grabbed a small blue egg during the attack,and escaped through a tunnel with it that led deep into the mountains full of tunnels and monsters, where most of the story takes place. Theres also the question of who will be the new Dragonmaster when the egg hatches. the oldest feels it should be him because he is the oldest and male, the girl thinks it's about time they had a female dragonmaster, and the youngest just wishes they'd stop fighting. This is a really great book, my one and only complaint is that it left off in such a way that there should have been a sequel.
