Sounds like a good fantasy novel! Pip also sounds like a fascinating character! I like that you stated that the character development is also good. The shapeshifting part is reeling me in. Would definitely read this book thanks to your review! :)

I enjoy fantasy novels, and this one sounds very unique and interesting. Strong character development is a huge deal for me, so it’s great to hear this was a strong point within the novel. Thanks for the insightful review!

Thanks for a fascinating review! I too found an interest for this book right off the bat - both the cover and the first few pages captured my attention!

OMG. I may sound a little childish but I so love dragons and is not a question for me if this book is good or not. As long as there are dragons, count me in. Shape shifting and dragon rider's school? Just frosting on the cake. Congrats.

I enjoy shape-shifting stories and am especially excited that this one contains a dragon. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the review!

This is an impressive coming of age fantasy full of magic, dragons, bullying, friendship and determination. It is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an incitefully well-written OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats

I sampled the book on Amazon. A fantasy story where the lead character named Pip is desperate to be acknowledged as a human. An intriguing story, which should be enjoyed by fantasy fiction enthusiasts as mentioned in the review by Jaime Lync.

I can't resist good fantasy, especially when dragons are involved. I love the author's creativity with the bio; it seems like a promising indicator of what's to come in the book. I'm not really able to read something so long right now, but I will add it to my "to read" list. Thank you for the helpful and detailed review.

Who doesn't love an amazing Dragon book, and you've definitely made this one sound awesome. I agree with you on the cover of the book, I would have decided to read it on the cover alone. I'm not looking forward to the overused joke about Pip's height, although maybe it was based on people the author actually knows, sadly some people can be repetitively insensitive like this. Thank you for your lovely review :)

I never read a story about dragons. I like the concept of shapeshifters. I'm willing to give this book a try. Thanks for making it free for one day. I really appreciate it.

Jaime Lync wrote a professional review on the book The Pygmy Dragon by Marc Secchia. I expected to read a fiction story about a dragon helping a human to live in the jingle reading the review. The reviewer explicitly wrote the critique and made me want to read the whole book. Therefore, I would like to read the book to find out more about the adventure of Pip and Zardon.

This is an amazing and fascinating story. It will be good to read about this island created by the author and get to learn much more about the characters in the book too. Thanks for the enthralling review.

Pip was smuggled out of her jungle home and sold to a zookeeper. She craved affection, but to her master, she was just a cash cow. Everything changed when a dragon rescued her and introduced her to a new life.

I absolutely love dragons and using them outside of a Medieval European or ancient Asian setting is a niche idea that really deserves exploring. I think I will definitely have to put this one down on my to-read list!
