The day fire and ice erupt from the sky, everything changes
forever for twelve-year-old Theo. He discovers that dragons are real when
Lamia, a three-headed monster, kidnaps his sister. A witch and a talking magpie
help him open the portal to Dragon Village, a land he knows only from myth, a
place filled with terrifying creatures. A young woodland nymph befriends him

names: Samodivi are Veelas from Harry Potter fame, only here they’re shown as
supernatural creatures of the forest.
Baba Yaga, Harpies, and other creatures find their way into
these pages, as well as the dreaded Lamia.
My Review
5/5 Stars
Theo wants to fly. When his friend creates a pair of wings, Theo is all for testing them out. However, they fail, and unknown to them, Theo’s sister has tagged along. When she is kidnapped and taken through a portal, Theo must go on the ultimate quest to save her.
Full of mystery and intrigue, this is a wonderful YA fantasy. There are plenty of mystical beasts ranging from witches to dragons to nymphs. I loved the character growth that we see in this story as well. While Theo tries to not only get a grip on his new powers, he has to overcome the doubts in his head and turn his worries into confidence.
