Hear from young Dragon Slayers today!
Yesterday, I gave Dragon Slayers to a 9-year-old who came into my store. I asked him to give me feedback to see how his age level reacted to it, and if he understood what he was reading. When I asked how he liked the book he said, “well I had an incident today with my little brother that was not very good, I was mean to him and realized I had to go slay a dragon.” He said later that day, “I did just that and now know how these things work!” His mother asked me to save her two more copies when they come in so she can get them for her nephews too. I immediately called Paraclete Press and ordered 25 more Dragon Slayers. Without a doubt these young boys need the tools on how to slay dragons!!! What better time to educate them now for future battles!!! The book puts it in a language they understand and can relate to.
WOW, I read some of Dragon Slayers out loud to my 11-year-old, and he was hooked! I was looking through the dragon pages a little later and he literally begged me to print it out so he could read it on his own. I flipped through and am really intrigued by the way it was written and illustrated, as well as the historical people at the back. The whole thing is incredibly well done. So exciting. Thank you! I’ll definitely share about it.
