dragon mountain cover

Deep within the mountain, a great creature stirred in its sleep. Its eyes rolled back in its head, and its wings jerked wide open…

When 12-year-old Billy Chan finds out his parents are sending him to a summer camp in middle-of-nowhere China he doesn’t know what to expect. There he meets fellow campers Dylan, Charlotte and Ling-Fei and together they stumble upon an age-old secret: four powerful warrior dragons, hidden deep within the mountain behind the camp. They have been trapped since an epic battle with the Dragon of Death and need the children’s help to set them free before terrible evil is unleashed on the earth. Billy and his friends must set off on a dangerous adventure that will take them to the heart of the Dragon Realm. But can they save the dragon and human worlds from destruction?

I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. 

This was so much fun!!! I wanted a little more backstory, but that aside I loved everything about it. And I need my own dragon please and thank you. šŸ‰ 

The story revolves around Billy who is visiting China for a language camp, and the three friends he meets there. They quickly form a bond and then realise that something more is going on! The friends are lovely – I loved that Charlotte was strong and confident (if a tad obnoxious at times!! šŸ˜‚) and that Dylan was scared but still brave. I didn’t get as strong as sense of Ling-Fei, but she’s still lovely. And Billy is a good lead – we see his empathy, and his love for his family and his dragon. 

I did see the twist coming, but not the ending! What a place to stop! I need book two right now. 😱😱😱

Buy Dragon Mountain from Waterstones.
