Jake's Dragon, Book 1: Discovery

By: Riano D. Mcfarland

Narrated by: AC Oliver

When you’re 11 years old, it’s tough convincing people to take you seriously. When you’re an 11-year-old savant, It’s exponentially more difficult.

Since Jake’s inability to connect with others had made him somewhat of an outcast for most of his life, he’d learned to divert his energy into his artistic talent, creating mesmerizing images capable of literally paralyzing anyone who should gaze upon them.

For Jake, it was normal to see and perceive things others were incapable of recognizing, but even he was caught completely off-guard when confronted with the reality that dragons not only exist, but that one of them was destined to become his very own.

As the bond between Jake and his dragon evolves and deepens, it becomes increasingly difficult to explain the uncanny occurrences which seem to accompany them, all while keeping the very existence of his dragon a secret.

While most people accept the logical explanations for the unusual activities surrounding them, dragoneers are not most people and they are dead set on capturing Jake’s dragon.

This would be great for kids. I just couldn't get into it. But like I said I think kid's would enjoy it. The fantasy was good.

I liked the way the person who was telling the story made the characters come to life.

Very cute doing of age story

Like the premise, though the story line is so very heavy surrounding saving Mother Earth. Though they have fixed it in one book! So cute but simplistic.

So much fun!

I really loved listening to this book! Not only was the dragon amazing, so was Jake and his family. They're such kind, loving people. This book gave off a small town vibe with a boy & his dog/dragon able to travel the world and have adventures. I look forward to listening to more books about the dragon king and his bonded one in this series. Both the author & the narrator did a wonderful job telling this story.

show how being different can be amazing

one of the most amazing and heart warming tales I have read in years great story to listen to with the whole family
heartwarming tale about a child on the spectrum finding just what he needs and finding a way to help those around him with it
hope there are many more in this world

Pulled me in

Looking forward to reading more in this series. I love a good dragon series! I loved the narration as well.
