bookergirl90 's review for:
Gork, the Teenage Dragon
by Gabe Hudson
I received this e-ARC via NetGalley for review, but all opinions are my own.
I am a huge dragon fan so when my request to read this was approved I was very excited. Who wouldn't want to read about advanced dragons with spaceships in space? I was not disappointed. I was drawn into the story from the very beginning when Gork talks about how "if you happen to be a man-creature here on Earth, I have read your books and stories about my species, and they are wrong." It goes on to talk about the biggest offender of misrepresentation, Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien and his portrayal of Smaug. Gork then goes on to tell the reader that he will talk about what it's really like.
The story is told from the perspective of our main character, a lovable teenage dragon named Gork, and what life is really like for his species and his journey to find his true love. The whole story takes place over one day in the life of our main character, but with many flashbacks. Gork is a member of the WarWings Military Academy. While there he is given the nickname 'Weak Sauce' because Gork is weaker and smaller than the other dragons at school. He also has a heart that is too big and horns that are too small.
This book was funny, charming, and adorable. It felt like an 80s classic high school movie, but with dragons in space. If you like dragons, or are a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this YA novel is for you.
