This book is about a boy who figures out that he is from a family of dragons. He too, is a dragon. A girl that goes to his school hides a "deformity" that makes her a dragon. A dragon slayer is now on the hunt to kill the two and their parents.
The main character is Billy Bannister, a boy who has just found out that he was a dragon. Throughout this book, he gains the characteristic of responsibility. I think that this character has had a good relationship with God in the book because he shows that God is there to help.
In this book, I was able to relate to Billy and his ability to call to God for help.
Something that I did not like about this book was that the writer set up one part for one character and another part for the other character. Then they eventually meet some time later. That kind of writing confuses me.
I would recommend this book to people that like fantasy books and of course, dragons.
In a movie version of this book, I would say that Tom Felton would play the part of Billy Bannister. (
