What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Dreki
A CCBC Choice
“In this fast-paced book with no conventional antagonists or ill-intentioned characters, the narrative tension comes from the need for secrecy and the time-sensitive mission. The firm but gentle prose culminates in satisfying and wistful closure. A tender story of connection.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Beyond the undeniably cool concept of befriending a dragon, the thrilling story also delves into the concept of home and heritage. Packed with Icelandic phrases, folklore, and geography…this is a suspenseful and satisfying celebration of remembering roots while growing up into something new.”–Booklist
