Andrew and the Firedrake

I loved the story; first listened to the audiobook, then bought it to read to my grandkids. I think they will want me to keep reading the next chapter and the next.

Was a great audio listen! Can’t wait to read it to my little brother

Quick read that is entertaining! Creative, but the storyline is a bit choppy. It had good Biblical truths, and morals that taught trust and responsibility needs to be earned.

I gave it 4 stars for the sound moral content, otherwise I'd have given it 3. The story really drags in the beginning. It took me till halfway through the book to start enjoying it. Its simply written and not very long so fortunately halfway came quickly. It was very hard for me to connect to the main character - he was pretty 2d. Ive read tons of good children's lit so maybe my expectations were too high. All this being said, towards the end of the book I was enjoying the story and when I finished the book I wanted to know what happened next. I read this aloud to my kids (10, 8, and 6) and though it took them a bit to get into it as well, they enjoyed it. I really appreciate how well this book presents truth.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my four year old son. He absolutely loves it and is captivated by it. When we got to the end of each chapter he would ask, "Dad, can we read another chapter?" or exclaim "Dad, keep reading!" The theological and practical truths illustrated throughout the book make it a perfect book to read to your children. Parents will definitely benefit from it as well. Highly recommended.

Excellent book. I enjoyed the layering of metaphors. I love seeing my son understand some of the subtext and ask me questions about dragons. Are they real? Why do we have to fight them? Explaining to him that some metaphors are more real than the physical, and seeing his puzzled face is a reward in and of its self.

Overall without spoiling anything, I recommend the book. The struggle is described well with ups and downs, and an honest look into the heart of man. Also, my son loves the book.

I bought this to read through with our kids, Wilson is an excellent writer and the story is fantastic. There are some wonderful lessons to be read and explored with your children here!

This book was excellent. It is right up there with George Macdonald, John Bunyan, and C.S. Lewis. I really enjoyed it and I know my kids are going to love it.

Excellent read.

Excellent read.

Great pace for children and fun for adults too. Read with my 7 yr. old and 6 yr. old boys at bed time a chapter a night, then they’d read a few more on their own. Good conversations about bravery, obedience, good and evil. Highly recommend.

Slay the dragon, get the girl. Great story for boys (mine is 10) to encourage honor, duty, trust and strength. Loved it!

My son loves this book! He finished it in an afternoon because he didn’t want to stop reading it.

This book was amazing although the end was a little confusing. The characters were very easy to imagine and realistic.

I got this book in the morning and had it finished before I went to bed. Honestly one of the best and most engaging books I’ve ever read!

Truth rings out in a beautiful and artful way in this story. I was struck by the need to learn the history that this story is rooted in. The main character is an every child sort of character. A child that you can relate to, and one that you want to cheer on to victory! Well worth reading.
