Heat of the Lava Dragon

This 18th installment in the popular Branches Dragon Masters series continues the thrilling adventures of Drake and his dragon, Worm. When an evil wizard, Astrid, traps Drake's friends and their dragons, stealing their powers, Drake must find a way to free them. With the unexpected help of Astrid's sister, Hulda, Drake and Worm set out to recruit three powerful elemental dragons: a lava dragon, a sea dragon, and a wind dragon. This chapter book is perfect for early readers, featuring engaging illustrations and a fast-paced plot that emphasizes bravery, friendship, and teamwork against a clear good-versus-evil backdrop.

Drake's friends Mina and Caspar, their dragons, and Worm were trapped in stone by the evil wizard Astrid who has stolen their dragons' powers, but Drake himself was saved from a similar fate by Astrid's sister Hulda; now because of his strong connection with Worm, Drake is able to help his dragon to break free, but to free the others they need the assistance of three other dragons--a lava dragon, a sea dragon, and a wind dragon--and they have to do it before Astrid can steal the powers of even more dragons.
