I was expecting a story about dragons, but instead I got a story mainly about squirrels. Ummm... What? I love the main idea of the clay dragons having a magic spark within them. I liked the main characters, and how we gradually learn more about the little dragons and where they come from. The writing was a little awkward in places, but the story is charming.

I liked everything about the dragons, but those stupid squirrels! Ugh! I agree with the villain of the story, Mr. Henry, that squirrels are rodents with fur, vermin and pests, who should be trapped and disposed of. I am not exactly an animal lover anyway, so a story about people who love squirrels was not exactly my cup of tea.
I might keep reading the series though, because those dragons are so cute and interesting!

Update: I'm NOT going to read the rest of the series. I prefer books about REAL dragons. The clay dragons are cute, but they just don't compare to the real deal.
