Description

For thirteen-year-old Rose Gallagher, having a friend who is really a dragon and can perform magic, change shape, and fly her away from the predictability of small-town life feels like a dream come true.

As their battle unfolds over the neon-drenched skies of Las Vegas, Rose must face this overwhelming threat by drawing on the magic that humans possess—the power of friendship, compassion, and trust.

Featured Reviews

The concept of the book is pretty cool, actually, that dragons were around when the dinosaurs were, and they didn't die out But that part isn't revealed until nearly the end of the book. Likewise, the villain, who is also revealed towards the end, is another dragon, who explains that dragons may be sleeping, but can be visible when they dream, which is also a cool concept. Rex, the villain, is a good villain, as bad-guys go, and the last 3/4 of the book were actually interesting, and a bit exciting.

However, until that last 3/4, the book plodded along, at a snails pace, as Rose learned about her friend Jade, the dragon. In other words, the author "buried the lead".
