MoreThe Dragon Trilogy is a whimsical journey taken by readers with a daring spirit for exploration and discovery. The three middle reader chapter books cleverly written by children s fiction author, J. G. Eastwood, and enchantingly illustrated by professional artist, Carl Kocich, tells the continuing story of a bold and adventurous little girl growing up with her imaginary playmate. Book one, Dragon, Enter the Realm, is set in a time and a place where fantasies are born. The story begins when the little one , follows a trail of tear-drop shaped scales which leads her to a beast hiding in its cave. Longing to know more about itself, the unclaimed and unnamed beast is melancholic. The child befriends him, but after examining her discovery, the explorer is ready to move on to other adventures and leaves unexpectedly just past the dawn. The beast, which has an amazing ability to change its form, sets out on a quest to find the little one. Along the way he obtains a rare gift to give his precocious little friend, if he can find her. Laced with mysteries, his journey is filled with tests, tricks and traps. (To be released, summer 2007) The magical adventures resume in the second book in the series, Dragon, The Fantasy Continues. It is a story of friendship, even in hardship, endurance and resolve. The believer and Flint, the Dragon, decide to continue the quest, and set out together to find another dragon. They stumble across a mysterious rock formation that leads them to an undersea volcano, home of Nogard, the dragon King. He gives Flint a magic ring and the sends the pair on a quest leading to four battles, to solve the mysteries of the first book and establish Flint place in the world of dragons. (summer 2008) The final book in the sequence, Dragon, (Psst, it's a secret ) calls the little one , now an adult, back to the world of make-believe to rescue the realm from The Mischief who has set out to destroy dreamers and dreams. However, the little one must agree to return to Fantasy as a dragon and in the end sacrifices her own dream to save the realm. The books are sprinkled with wordplays, tidbits of wisdom, brain teasers, questions and quotes. Books one and two are composed in verse. Book three is written in prose up until the last chapter when it returns to the former rhyme scheme. The story captures the thoughts of readers of all ages, and takes them on a soaring quest to places only the imagination can find, and right into the hearts of its wonderful characters. Along the way readers are taught the values of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice and courage. The key message is the importance of being true to ones self and ones dreams.(summer 2009)
