Pages: 1 to 218

                                                         Introduction

                   I am currently reading the third book in the Last Dragon Chronicles series written by Chris D. Lacey. In the first book all of the characters were introduced which was David, Elizabeth, and Lucy. It's about a tenant named David Rains comes to live with the Pennykettles. He discovers that Liz Pennykettle makes clay dragons that magically come to life. Each dragon has a unique power for example Davids' dragon Gadzooks can help write the future and help him write stories. He later has another dragon called G'Reth which is a wishing dragon. Lucy is a little nosy girl who always gets in to David's personal life. This series has to do mostly with dragons and polar bears because they both connect in a way. This is the series introduction I hope you like it and will even want to read it some day.




                                                    Realistic or Fantasy?

            I forgot to mention in the other paragraph that the main villain so far is an old lady named Gwilanna. She's a magical and powerful sorcerer that can change any size or form. Gwilanna want to resurrect Gawain the last true dragon that ver existed on Earth. Gwilanna is kind of realistic because she has many human features and although she is evil she cares about her relatives. She is Liz and Lucy's great aunt which was said in the first. Liz is very realistic because she cares about her family and acts like any ordinary mom. She buy groceries, works to support her family, and gives real life advice. Lucy is like any typical child because she is sometimes spoiled, she liked to get into peoples business which eventually leads her into a big discovery. David is a typical college student who wants to get a job as a writer and a publisher. In the first books  he wrote a book about something that actually happened. It was the life and legend of Conker the squirrel. In the book they even mentioned a real publishing company which is Apple Book Publishing. Those are some of the first few character, the last paragraph will explain the third book's plot and of the other character's are realistic.



                                          The Fate of the World
          Oops! I did it again I forgot to mention one more important character which is a 20 year old woman named Zanna. She is David Rains second girlfriend (because his first one left to go work in Africa). She is described to be a Goth and that she likes to put on black lipstick in her mouth. Zanna is a little bit realistic because she attends school and lived a normal life until Gwilanna came along. Zanna has a boyfriend and is in love like any other college girl. Another supporting character is Henry Bacon which is an extreme neat freak. Henry Bacon is realistic because he complains like any other neighbor. The good thing is that Henry doesn't that the dragons come to life and he's so into science. In my opinion I think Henry is the most realistic character ever because he was a science teacher, he lives in a normal house, and doesn't do anything magical.  The plot like I mentioned before is that Gwilanna is trying to resurrect Gawain the dragon and she's trying to destroy Zanna. Zanna has almost the equal power to Gwilanna that's why Gwilanna thinks she is a threat. Another character is Dr. Bergestrom he is kind of realistic because he studied normal science in college except that he always acts weird when someone mentions polar bears. He is a research doctor and live a normal life as a college instructor in David's school.

      Nadrian,
                      I really enjoyed your "Favorite Book of All Time" post because you used so many astonishing words that made the post very interesting. I've only read one of the Harry Potter books but I think the first one had an amazing plot. I wish I understood why Voldemort is so depurate to kill Harry Potter. Voldemort has anger issues just because  baby Harry defeated him. Thank for your recommendation!

Jesus,
        I like how you put the word suspense in your blog because now I'm more interested in reading the Kane Chronicles. I like the idea of you saying that it left you hanging because I've checked out books just like that and it gives you the idea of not putting down the book. One of my question was does the Kane Chronicles have to deal with the Percy Jackson series? On goodreads this book is under the category "Popular 7th Grade Books". Thanks for the info about the book.

Emily,

        My first question is each story interesting, does it make you want more?  Another thing I want mention about your blog is that I liked how you pointed out which were you favorite and least favorite characters in the book. Your writing made me think about putting more quotes in my blog because your quotes gave me an idea on how the characters are like. My other favorite thing about the blog is that you wrote how you felt about the book. Thanks for the spoilers!

The stars make a big part in the book because it explains that dragons can travel through stars. This helps them know the future. It also says that each star represents someone important. For example Gawain last dragon on Earth and Ragnar leader of the polar bears.
