Clay and his friends live under a mountain. They were all
chosen by a prophecy to end the War of Sandwing Succession. They're supposed to
choose which of three princesses will inherit the Sandwing throne, but reality
hasn't been going as the prophecy planned. The dragonets' guardians are harsh
and won't let them go out into the dangerous world. Instead of a fierce
Skywing, they have a Rainwing, supposedly the most lazy of the dragon tribes.
Their Nightwing doesn't have powers, their Sandwing looks odd, and all five
dragonets keep trying to escape.
This has been my favorite book series since I was in third
grade. In case you couldn't tell from my summary, it's about dragons. There are
currently fourteen books in the series, plus four graphic novels and two
prequels. Despite them being dragons, the characters feel so real and alive. It
has some comedy and plenty of action. It's kind of violent. This book is aimed
most at middle school reading levels, but it's a great story even for older
people. I love Wings of Fire and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes
dragons.
