Summary
In the first installment of the exciting Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly graphic novel series， the scarlet dragon Ruskin’s bravery is put to the test when a curse threatens his kingdom。
As the pampered pet dragon of the Prince of Wrenly， Ruskin has never known life beyond the walls of the palace。 Until the day a young dragon from Crestwood comes to the palace to plead for help。 An evil curse has been unleashed in Crestwood and threatens to destroy all of Wrenly。 Ruskin has a choice to make: stay safe at home in the palace， or try to help save his kingdom。 For Ruskin， there is no choice。 He knows he has to try and help if he can。
What Ruskin and his new dragon friends don’t yet realize is that the curse was awoken for one reason only—to put Ruskin in harm’s way。 The mission to reverse the curse is far more dangerous than anyone realizes…in fact， it’s seemingly impossible。 Why is Ruskin the target of these shadowy forces？ And how far is Ruskin willing to go to save his kingdom？

The Kingdom of Wrenly was first introduced to readers in a （still expanding） chapter book series in 2014; these spin-off titles follow Rushkin， a legendary scarlet dragon who hatched in book two of the original series。 In book one， Rushkin leaps at the chance to go on an adventure， away from his quiet life at the palace as a princely pet。 The dragons of Crestwood are infected with the Coldfire Curse， which will spread across the Kingdom if the cure isn't found soon。 Luckily， Rushkin and two othe The Kingdom of Wrenly was first introduced to readers in a （still expanding） chapter book series in 2014; these spin-off titles follow Rushkin， a legendary scarlet dragon who hatched in book two of the original series。 In book one， Rushkin leaps at the chance to go on an adventure， away from his quiet life at the palace as a princely pet。 The dragons of Crestwood are infected with the Coldfire Curse， which will spread across the Kingdom if the cure isn't found soon。 Luckily， Rushkin and two other young dragons band together， traveling far and facing magical dangers， to save everyone。 Book two delves more deeply into the lore of Wrenly as Rushkin is once again tasked with a quest along with his two new friends。 But a villain lurks in the shadows even as the trio overcome obstacles and prevent a devastating fire storm and break a dreary enchantment。 A preview at the end of each volume piques readers' interest for the following installment。These two titles are fast-paced with a quest-based storyline that is easy to follow and quick to be resolved。 This formula is perfect for newly independent readers and will quickly hook its target audience， drawing them further in with some silly dialog and strong themes of friendship and self-confidence that caregivers will greatly appreciate。 The three main characters of Rushkin， Groth， and Cinder are all loveable and easy to connect with; each has a unique personality， though it should be noted that Rushkin is the only one （so far） experiencing a character arc， making his character more malleable for future volumes。 Quinn's dialog and story are well-matched with Greco's colorful art， adding to the action scenes in particular as dragons swoop through the air or magic rushes through a panel。Some character and setting introductions feel rushed， placing a short page count over connection to the story。 This may be due to the fact that some readers will be familiar with the lore of Wrenly from the original series， but overall does a disservice to the books。 。。。more

Read aloud graphic novel。 This series is new and based on the a Kingdom of Wrenly books， but follows Ruskin the dragon and most of the characters are dragons。 My kids loved it and were fully engaged， but I would call this a mediocre graphic novel。 It was weak on plot and without inspired dialogue。 Still a good extension book for early independent readers。

Ruskin is the possible hero who does not consider himself a hero。 He is happy in his life as a royal pet。 After all， he was rescued by humans。 They take good care of him。 He has his own lair。 They feed him all the wonderfully good tasting food he can eat。 He even gets to eat inferno peppers。 Inferno peppers enable him to breathe fire - something all red dragons are supposed to be able to do。 He is a red， scarlet dragon。 There is a problem。 A cold curse has taken over the land。 Once infected， a Ruskin is the possible hero who does not consider himself a hero。 He is happy in his life as a royal pet。 After all， he was rescued by humans。 They take good care of him。 He has his own lair。 They feed him all the wonderfully good tasting food he can eat。 He even gets to eat inferno peppers。 Inferno peppers enable him to breathe fire - something all red dragons are supposed to be able to do。 He is a red， scarlet dragon。 There is a problem。 A cold curse has taken over the land。 Once infected， a dragon cannot fly。 Ruskin is sent to find and bring back the ingredients of a potion that will eliminate the curse。 He has a quest， a friend to join him on the quest， and a legend that tells him what might happen。 Ruskin does not know whether he believes in legends。 A quest， new characters， friendship， adventure， suspense and wonderful graphics make this an enjoyable read for 2nd through 4th graders。 They will definitely want to see more in the series。 。。。more

The illustrations in this graphic novel are great！ It also is light on the dialogue making it more accessible to young readers。 The end has a great cliffhanger too that will get them excited for the next installment。

The coldfire curse is spreading among the dragons of Wrenly and the only one who can stop it is the legendary scarlet dragon。 Unfortunately the only scarlet dragon around considers himself a pet of the royal family， not someone destined for great things。 Book one in the series is fast-paced and fun。

Solid dragon graphic novel that’s easy to follow; really good for 3rd & 4th graders in particular！

Really more of 4。5 rating。 This is just an adorable， easy book for the adult， but packed with adventure for the 7-8 to 10 year-olds。 This book is about three dragons who learn of a legend， must deal with a curse and along the way they make good friends。 You， the adult， know they will be okay， the curse will be stopped and probably who the real bad guys （or dragons） are。 The graphic novel illustrations are perfectly detailed， they are bright and cute。 I really can't wait for more in the series。 I Really more of 4。5 rating。 This is just an adorable， easy book for the adult， but packed with adventure for the 7-8 to 10 year-olds。 This book is about three dragons who learn of a legend， must deal with a curse and along the way they make good friends。 You， the adult， know they will be okay， the curse will be stopped and probably who the real bad guys （or dragons） are。 The graphic novel illustrations are perfectly detailed， they are bright and cute。 I really can't wait for more in the series。 It reminded me of an easy The Dragon Prince， if told from the point of view of Zym （the baby dragon/the princ） and dealt with him and other dragons。 Though humans play a small role。 。。。more

Great for grades 2-5。 For fans of Dragon Masters or Wings of Fire。 Such a cute graphic novel。 I really enjoyed the illustrations。 Ready to see where this series go。 There are nuggets of humor that I hope to see more of in future books。
