A Book Everyone Should Read


Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher. It was actually a book I read when I was in elementary school. But to this day it still reamins to be my favorite and most memorable book.

It was written by Bruce Coville who has written many other children books. The book begins with a boy going into a magic shop and buying what he thinks is a big marble (who buys one marble from a magic store) However it turns out to be a dragon egg. He is forced to raise the dragon untill it can return to "its world" The boy becomes very attatched to dragon and is very sad once it leaves. He soon finds out that he can communicate with it telepathically.

I really wouldnt recommend this book for a highschool student, but rather for the elementary school student like I was when I read it. And it is this group the book is more geared to anyway. The book give kids a good insight on life in general. From everything to taking care and raising an animal to dealing with the heart ache of loosing something very special to them.
