The Dragon Who Would Be King by Anne Peters tells the story of a magical land named Zaraphella. The book begins with a prologue; the dynamic and tense development of events immediately arouses curiosity and interest in the reader. One stormy and dark night, when all the inhabitants of Zaraphella's kingdom were hiding from a stormy night, a character named Dahlen arrived at the wizard's palace. It seems that an evil wizard named Azeroth had something precious and dangerous at the same time that he could use to destroy the kingdom. What do you think it could be?

A unique egg, which was found in the middle of the conflict between good and evil, gradually cracked and heralded the birth of an unusual, beautiful life. This egg was discovered by a snow-white owl named Greta, who dreamt of a warm family, and the creature hidden inside the egg accidentally found a home before birth. The little green creature easily won Greta's heart, but how long can the dragon live with the owl?

The first thing I liked the most was the book cover, the design of which brought me back to my childhood. The book begins with a map of Zaraphella, in which all the necessary information is laid out simply and clearly. In the prologue, the actions develop tensely, and the reader is introduced to the main point of the conflict. The narration is dynamic and in simple language, which is very essential for books aimed at children. In addition, many meaningful lessons can be acquired by children, such as courage, kindness, and love. The fight for justice is very important, but love and kindness are above all; that is the main idea of the book.

This is a well-edited book, as I have not noticed any grammatical errors. The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes a lot of space was left between words, and sometimes there was none at all. I don't know if this is a technical or editorial error, but it didn't happen often and didn't affect my enjoyment.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The reason for this is the smooth plot, diverse characters, and useful lessons that the book teaches children. This is a magical story about a dragon whose mission is bigger than saving people. I recommend The Dragon Who Would Be King for school-aged children and adults who want to travel once again to a child's world full of kindness and adventure.
