    About this ebook

    Not just another dragon story; this memorable escapade is fast-paced and packed with action. It will leave readers on the edge of their seats.

    — D.J. MacHale, author, The SYLO Chronicles and Pendragon



    Can one boy stand between two kingdoms at war? Jaevid Broadfeather has grown up as a wartime refugee, hiding from the world because of his mixed racial heritage. He feels his future is hopeless, until a chance encounter with a wild dragon lands him in Blybrig Academy—a place usually forbidden to anyone but the rich and royal. But Jaevid's case is special; no dragon has voluntarily chosen a rider in decades, so the proud riders of Blybrig must begrudgingly let him join their brotherhood despite his bloodline. Lieutenant Sile Derrick, a sternly tempered man with a mysterious past, becomes his instructor and immediately takes a peculiar interest in Jaevid's future. While struggling through the rigorous physical demands of training, things begin to go awry. Jaevid witnesses the king's private guards kidnapping Sile in the dead of night. When none of the elder riders are willing to help him, Jaevid begins a dangerous adventure to save his instructor. Everything Jaevid learned at the academy will now be put to the ultimate test.

      the author reaaaaaaaaally needs the advice, show not tell. i think kids would enjoy reading it maybe, but if you are an adult you will just get to frustrated to continue.

      I've always been a sucker for novels with dragons in them and have read some great ones over the years. "Seraphina", "Eragon" and "Dragon Keeper "are just a few that immediately come to mind. In fact "Fledgling" reminded me quite a lot of "Dragon Keeper"..Jaevid (Jae) was a relatable character being half elf, half human but despised by both, and I was rooting for him from the start. His dragon, Mavrik, was a delight and the descriptions of him enabled me to form a clear picture of what he looked like in my mind. The bond between him and Jae was strong from the start and I can see it growing even stronger in the future.I also liked Felix and Beckah. They were both strong, kind characters who always supported Jae and the three of them had a great friendship. I hope Beckah returns in the next book.Overall, "Fledgling" was an entertaining, fast-paced start to a new fantasy series for younger readers. I am looking for to now reading Avian and continuing Jae's journey to becoming a dragon rider.

      FledglingThe Dragonrider Chronicles, Book 1By: Nicole ConwayNarrated by: Jesse EinsteinThis is a charming story of the underdog saving the day! I love those kind of stories and especially those with dragons. It is more for middle grade and teens but I certainly enjoyed the story too. If you love action, adventure, dragons, and suspense then this is for you! I loved the closeness of the dragon and rider bond. Great characters and plot. Well done.The narrator was perfect for this story! Great with the voices and keeping the story flowing just right! (or flying just right!)
