Dragonspell Series

I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! The author is Donita K. Paul and she has just done a wonderful job at introducing you into a new world full of adventure. These books are great to read with the family or by yourself. Both my husband and I have enjoyed reading these books time and time again. But I will just let you read for yourself what each book is about (they are in order of how they appear in the series), enjoy.Dragonspell

Feeling afraid and unprepared, Kale embarks on a perilous quest to find the meech dragon egg stolen by the foul Wizard Risto. First, she and her comrades must find Wizard Fenworth. But their journey is threatened when a key member of the party is captured, leaving the remaining companions to find Fenworth, attempt an impossible rescue, and recover the egg whose true value they have not begun to suspect. Weaving together memorable characters, daring adventure, and a core of eternal truth, Dragonspell is a finely crafted and welcome addition to the corpus of fantasy fiction.Dragonquest

Now this last book is not completely part of the series above because it takes place in a different area of the world and somewhat an earlier time too but you do have some characters from the books above that are in this story as well. This book also follows pretty closely to what the other ones were making a point at too.
