Dreki was a heartwarming story as an adult and I know I would have loved it as a kid. It is a magical, yet bittersweet tale that feels like juvenile fiction version of A House in the Cerulean Sea.

Modern Middle-Grade Fantasy Adventure of a larger-than-life Grandfather and his grandson.
My Reaction: Transitions, it’s all about growing up, growing old, and moving on. A baby dragon must be returned home, a young man must lead them to Iceland, and the grandfather remembers the way.
This is a superb story that any age group can enjoy. The author incorporated nuggets about Iceland and its unique culture, language, and history, giving the story depth and authenticity and bringing the characters to life in an easy and believable way. The story has a mixed bag of emotions, including shame, honor, familial bonds, worry, and awe.
Warning: Health/aging trigger and modest dose of shenanigans.
5/5 for all the feels, rich context, and amiable characters.
