Silver Medal Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2013 Best Book Series Chapter Book
Fantasy Book Review ~ Like a dragon, Lucinda Hare’s second novel has some fire in its belly. In Flight to Dragon Isle, the heat has been turned up: more action, more adventure. If you’ve read the first book, The Dragon Whisperer, then the return of Quenelda and Root will be like revisiting old friends (if you haven’t read it, then go and read it...now!) You might think nothing’s changed. Quenelda is still the headstrong girl we met in book one and Root is still the nervous gnome, but this pair are slowly finding their feet. Root is growing in confidence (but still manages the odd mishap, which makes him as funny as ever) and Quenelda, the girl who can talk to dragons, is slowly realising that she has more power and magic within her, than anyone ever imagined. As in the first book, Hare continues to spread magic over her words. In the Seven Sea Kingdoms, not even something as normal as the date and time are well...normal. Wouldn’t it be great if we could meet our friends at ‘the hour of the irritated bumblebee’ instead of three o’clock? Wouldn’t it be great if this year was ‘the year of the Sabre-Toothed Doormouse’ instead of 2011? Above all, this second book packs a punch. An almighty war breaks out with the hobgoblins, and Quenelda’s world is thrown into turmoil. As the reader, you’re either rooting for something to go right, or hoping something doesn’t go wrong. Hare takes you on a journey and you really don’t know how things are going to turn out. This is a darker tale, filled with dark magic; that Hare describes vividly, so certain moments play out like a film in your head. What about the dragons? There’s Frosts, Magmas, Vampires... (yes, Vampire dragons) along with the wonderfully named ‘I’ve Already Eaten’ and Quenelda’s own dragon, ‘Two Gulps and You’re Gone’. By the time you’ve finished this book, you’ll wish dragons were on sale at the local pet shop. MOONBEAM CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARDS SILVER MEDAL WINNER 2013 for BEST BOOK SERIES ~ CHAPTER BOOK

Click on the first video to see Armadale Academy's awesome book trailer of The Dragon Whisperer created by their Junior Book Club, then click on Chasing the Stars, the moment Root finally learns to fly!!

Lucinda Hare's first book The Dragon Whisperer was described as "One of the most captivating new books to be published for 8+ for some time . . . It made me laugh, cry and remember exactly what's so special about the time when you or your child live in hope of finding a dragon of your own" (Amanda Craig The Sunday Times)

Lucinda lived with a badly behaved pack of ten cats, three dogs and two rabbits. Run away battery hens have also been given a home. They are all adopted and many have special needs. They provided all the inspiration needed for Lucinda's many dragon characters.

Lucinda experimented with many different jobs but found writing about animals, in particular the large scaled flying variety with lethal talons, teeth and tails far more fun. You can find out more about her books on her website http://www.dragonsdome.co.uk/ Libraries and schools can buy from Gardners Books.

Sadly, from early 2020 Lucinda was seriously ill, due to a recurrence of the cancer she first had in 2015. After several very difficult months, she died in May2020.

Her wonderful books will continue to be available both from Amazon and via Gardners Books.

Her sales and minor updates of the books are being managed by her husband, Paul, whom you can contact at paulhare10@gmail.com. Happy reading!!

Once again the story catches you up and keeps you reading. Characters are growing up, learning hard lessons. Still feels too dark and violent for kids in my opinion but action filled for adults

Each book just keeps drawing you in. Quenelda and Root continue their friendship and each gaining strength. The evil is getting darker. The hobgoblins are such evil creatures and the traitor leading them is so very bad. I am enjoying all the reoccurring characters. The dragons are so special and intelligent.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2011
Flight to Dragon Isle is the stunning second book of Lucinda Hare's new series.
When Lord Darcy (Quenelda's brother) takes control over the Dragondome Citadel, Quenelda, the main heroine, is forced to flee to Dragon Isle and seek refuge with her esquire Root and her beloved Roofmaster Tangnost. However, they face a worse threat: the evil warlock, Lord Hugo, has created the hobgoblins, their archenemies,dragon steeds!

This book was fantastic, I rate it 10/10. It takes true skill to create a book that, when the characters cry, you cry, and when the characters laugh, you laugh with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gripping story
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2011
The long awaited 2nd book of The Dragonsdome Chronicles dropped through our letter box a week or so ago and has been snatched up by everyone in the house, adults and children alike. Flight to Dragon Island continues to develop the characters we met in Flight To Dragon Isle and canters along at an exciting pace throughout. The story is engrossing and the characters fascinating and very believable. There is real excitement and emotion, I don't want to give anything away, but I did cry. Thoroughly recommend this for all ages.

I got the first book ages ago and I was waiting for this one to come out for ages! But it was well worth the wait! It's now one of my favourite books I have read, It made me cry, laugh and read until late into the night. If you enjoy reading about magic and adventure themed books, you will surely love this! I can't wait to buy the next!

I couldn't make head nor tail of it myself, but it turned him from a complete non-reader to someone demanding I get him the next in the series. He spent a week with his nose in it and is now regularly lamenting the fact that he has to wait for the author to get the next one out - can't be bad!
