Secret of the Water Dragon: A Branches Book (Dragon Masters #3) (3)

My kids love this series. It is perfect for beginner readers to read alone, or to read aloud to younger readers to introduce them to chapter books.My 7 year old found them very easy to read, but was gripped by the stories and wishes there were more than 4 in the series (the end of this book hints towards a dragon master being brought in for the Hydra... so maybe they will bring an extra book out? we hope so!)My 4 year old absolutely loves this series too, and has a chapter or two each night for bedtime stories.Compared to other early reader books for this age group, the big difference with this particular series is that the story is a lot more compelling and gripping, rather than being too basic, babyish or laclustre. It has dragons, battles, friendship, wizards and all kinds of cool things. My kids really connect with these characters and love it. We will have to try other books in the scholastic branches series if they are as good as these

Wonderful series of books that has introduced my 5yo to the magic of books! When he’s a little older he’ll be able to read them again by himself :)

We ordered the first three books in this series for my seven-year-old nephew who is just starting chapter books. Twice when we've been at a bookstore since he's looked for the fourth book in the series so I know it was a hit.

My kids love this series! I originally bought it for my dragon crazed girl(5) but soon my older one (8) picked it up too. They love to replay the whole stories and really life in the adventures. I m glad it's a long series and we won't run out of books anytime soon.

My son is loving this whole series! It is the first time he is reading independently, under the covers at night with a light (when he should be sleeping) and reading them with understanding the story line!
