The Dragon Way Home is a meaningful and exciting children's fantasy by Margaretta James, with themes of family, friendship, and togetherness. Jamison lives on Australia's Gold Coast with his mom and her partner Gibbo. During a day at the beach, he sees an artist crafting a dragon from sand. He is enthralled at the sight, and even more so by the dragon coming to life. They instantly hit it off, and he shares with Littus, the dragon, that he wishes to visit his father in Paris. His trip there was canceled because of his dad's pressures at work. This is the start of a wonderful and exciting adventure for Jamison, who meets even more dragon friends as he travels along with them to Paris.
The Dragon Way Home's introductory line, “For those who believe in dragons and those who wish they did,” sets the perfect tone for this story of adventure and friendship. Aimed at younger readers, yet great for all ages, it is a tale rich in meaningful themes and especially stimulating for a young audience. It is stimulating as it reads similar to a novel for adults, yet retains the imagination and creativity that young readers possess. The vivid illustrations help create the perfect ambiance for a colorful and daring adventure of dragons, travel, and distant locations. It is the perfect choice for a fun read for children that is casual yet challenging. Margaretta James' The Dragon Way Home is on point in every aspect and is a surefire winner in my opinion.
