November 14, 2009: This is a fantastic beginner to the best series I have ever read. It is inspiring, motivating, and life-changing in arias most books in this genera would not even begin to reach. It makes me personally want to take action. I loved its clarity and accuracy but it may be a bit hard to understand for younger readers. This is also the type of book I will want to reread many times. I believe almost anyone could enjoy this book like I did and I can honestly recommend it to everyone!

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.
