A SKY FULL OF DRAGONS The Wand Keepers, Book 1

Rachanee Lumayno performs a whimsical tale that features Spella, a young orphan who is being raised by her Aunt Cauldroneyes. Spella spends her days discovering how to make magical hats and learning about the magical creatures that live around her cottage. But when a mysterious man arrives and abducts her aunt, Spella must go to Dragon's Knob, a magical school, to get help to find her aunt. The novel's magical world features a range of unique characters, including a talking dodo bird. Lumayno's performance of their dialogue rises to the challenge, but her voice often feels too mature for the first-person narration of a girl and too serious for the magical world conjured in the story.
