1: Got Dragon Breath?
Raising Dragons is the first novel in the Dragons in Our Midst series by Bryan Davis.
Billy has dragon breath, and he didn't just forget to brush his teeth. His breath scalds his own fingers, burns his mother's cheek when he kisses her goodbye, and sets off the school fire alarm. Despite his attempts with soda, water, and breath mints, nothing seems to cool his breath. The answer to his concerns comes when his father reveals a long-kept secret: he is a dragon who has been hiding for years as a human. An evil dragon slayer has been hunting Billy's father for years and Billy, son of the last true dragon, is also on his list.
Billy befriends Bonnie, who has a dragon feature of her own. Together they discover an ancient prophesy and the history of how many dragons served darkness, becoming so evil that a powerful order of knights hunted the dragons to near extinction. To survive, the dragons assumed the form of humans and have been hiding ever since. Now the prophecy has come full circle and
Raising Dragons is a fun and original read that melds medieval fantasy and dragons with today's world. Billy is a courageous character who struggles to know who to trust, but ultimately relies on God to pull him through. If you love fantasy novels, dragons, and medieval tales, this book is for you. Highly recommended.
Check out the sequel, The Candlestone (Dragons in Our Midst, Book 2).

What a great start to an amazing series! I've read Raising Dragons over and over, and will continue to re-read it. Filled with hope, love, and adventure, you'll never want to put this book down!

3: Raising Dragons
After discovering that he can breathe fire, Billy Banister finds himself in a confusing web of legend and technology, trying desperately, with the help of a fellow half-dragon (this one with wings hidden beneath her backpack), to stay away from a dragon-slayer and his minions. Funny, interesting and action-packed to the extreme, Bryan Davis's first release does not disappoint!

5: Awesome - What a read!
Adults and kids alike will enjoy this book. Good vs. evil has always been the battle in this world and so it is here also. Billy's world is suddenly swept away by a father he thought he knew. Bonnie longs for someone to care about her. Raising Dragons is the first in the Dragons in Our Midst series. Do as I have and read them all.
