"He [Danny Dragonbreath] can't breath fire, but he has no fear."
-front cover

When Danny gets an F on his science paper about the ocean, his teacher gives him a second chance to make it up. Instead of doing book research at the library, Danny decides to do his research hands on. Dragging best friend Wendell along with him, Danny visits his cousin Edward who lives by the sea. Edward takes them on an undersea adventure of a lifetime. Along with visitng many different sea creatures and habitats, the find a long lost pirate ship, and even end up fighting off a vampire Squid!!

Even though he's the only dragon at a mainly reptile school, Danny doesn't let that bother him. He's bold, full of adventure and has an AWESOME imagination. He even stands up to the bully along with best friend, Wendell. Danny sounds to me like the kind of guys I'd love to be friends with.

Dragonbreath was pack full with adventure and action with a side of self discovery and humor. It's the perfect candidate not only for the 8-12age group but also for the YA level, especially for those of us who seem to have lost our sense of imagination. It really bought out the kid side in me.
