The Great Texas Dragon Race is perfect for all readers. It is action-packed and full of dragons, and this is one book you won’t want to put down.


Now, this was a book I absolutely loved. The Great Texas Dragon Race is perfect for anyone who loves dragons, adventure, and great storytelling.

Storytelling

I’m a girl who loves dragons. I have a whole bookcase and a shelf dedicated to dragon books and dragon merchandise. I am known as the dragon girl at the bookstore I work at. When someone asks for dragon books, I am the girl my coworkers direct them to.

The Great Texas Dragon Race is now one of my top recommendations to young readers.

This novel was so good. I love Cassidy and the fact that her family has a rehabilitation farm for abused dragons. First of all, those poor dragons, and second of all, I want a dragon farm!

The dynamic she has with her father and grandmother the way she wants to save her farm and the dragons there, makes her a remarkable character. She enters the dangerous dragon race hoping to win, get the prize, and save her farm.

But of course, the evil corporate conglomerate is also entering. The same corporation is also guilty of dragon abuse. So, the race is made even more dangerous by their ruthlessness and cheating.

Cassidy has to face all these challenges, including her personal doubts, her mother’s past, and her reservations about who to trust and how to play the game.

But Cassidy is a strong character with a fantastic bond with her dragon. And that was just another thing I loved about this novel. The characters have unique personalities and relationships with their dragons. The cast is also so diverse. They come from different parts of the community, giving every type of reader someone to connect with.

Final Thoughts

The Great Texas Dragon Race was such a great read. It was a fast-paced novel with great characters and was a lot of fun to read.
