Revenge of the Dragon Lady

I read the first book in the series "The New Kid at School" to my first and second grade students as part of Fantasy in the library. They are really enjoying Wiglaf's adventures and all of the books in the series are always checked out. The students made the request to read the second book now that we have finished the first and I am more than willing. The students and I are looking forward to more of Wiglaf and his friends from DSA. I think that any child from grade one to five would find this series exciting and fun to read.

My son and I discovered this whole series of books when he was a first grader...perfect for him to read as a second grader now. In the spirit of Harry Potter and the Hobbit but not so complex that kid's lose the story line. Full of jokes and adventure, I cannot recommend these any more strongly for the 7 to 10 age group (depending on reading ability). We've had two impressive endorsements: When we first began reading about Wiglaf, it was on a plane to Colorado. As I read to my son, I realized that other children were tuning in to the story. Several parents asked for the book titles and the author when we landed. Also, late last year I read books 1-3 for a first grade class and have since read to the second grade. The library has been unable to keep two full sets in stock and the teachers have purchased their own sets. It has taken reading by storm as boys and girls strive to finish the series.Oh yeah, and adults will get a private chuckle out of the humor and wordplay from time to time.
