Test your spelling skills with the Word Dragon! A fast-paced, action & adventure chapter book series for children aged 8-11. (A must-read for fans of Magic Tree House.)When Eli and his younger sister, Grace, stop by an antique store on Broadway...their lives suddenly change forever. Uncle Larry’s Antique Shop & Junkyard is a wonderful place where everything has a price--and the magic is in the learning.While their dad is looking around the store, the shopkeeper (the lovable, forgetful Uncle Larry) tells Eli and Grace a curious story about a dragon that loves to play Scrabble—which they don’t believe, of course. But when they step through the junkyard door...everything comes true!With only their “magic junk” from the store -- a rope, a hubcap, an old can of shoe polish, and a Scrabble game missing one letter “N” -- Eli and Grace must figure out how to make it back before they get B-L-A-S-T-E-D by Fireball the Word Dragon. But never forget, “Once you begin your adventure...you must finish it. No matter what.”Don’t miss the teacher’s favorite, parent-approved, and kid’s choice series, Junkyard Adventures.

FYI: I won this book on goodreads.com. Very cute! Simple, but exciting. Being an elementary teacher, I can think of many of my students that would love this book. It contains all the "buttons" - adventure, imagination, suspense, dragons, young characters, fast pace. I will be looking for other books......more
