Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Jordan Quinn grew up in a fairy tale castle in England. It had a spiral stone staircase, a moat, and a dungeon. As a child she liked to play hide-and-go-seek and ride her beloved horse, Prince Charming. When she wasn’t riding, she wrote stories about fairies, trolls, dragons, and wizards. Today, Jordan lives on a ranch in California with her husband, son, and a golden retriever named Sir Toots-a-Lot.

Robert McPhillips has been involved in a wide variety of projects over the years—from illustrating greeting cards to animation, though he especially loves illustrating children’s books. Robert makes his home in North Devon, England, with his wife, Sam.

    Lucas and Clara are best friends who live in a kingdom that includes fairies, giants, wizards, and witches. My daughter who is in second grade enjoys Lucas and Clara's adventures, including this book, which is the start to them all.

    The books have chapters (usually about 10) with large type and lots of black and white drawings that make them a great fit for readers who are just starting chapter books--and for readers who enjoy a fun magical world even if they can read longer books with smaller type now. :)

    I hope your kids enjoy this book!

    This is a great book for kids that have started to be interested in chapter books. Short, eventful chapters with easy to follow story lines. Both male and female main characters. Good for 1st or 2nd Graders. A good 2nd grade reader might be able to go through this book in a single afternoon. Ogres, fairies, mermaids, dragons, princes... and a healthy relationship between parents and children. They are easy to read aloud too. Fun!

    This series has captured my 7 year old’s heart. It is great for boys and girls to read, and is very engaging. The first week we had it, she read it 5 times, and we promptly found several more of the series from the library. She is completely hooked, and is reading more in the past 7 days than she has in the entire month previous.

    My son age 8 did not want to read the book at first because he saw the fairy book in the series, but once he started reading the Wrenly books, he could not stop until he read the whole series including the fairy book. We did skip 5 books - the 2 ones on witch curses, the evil shadow one, the ghost one, and dream one. He loved the books he read and kept re-reading his favorites.

    Between the Dragon Masters and Wrenly books however, his obsession went beyond reading the books themselves into wanting to make magic spells, have a magic wand, wear a wizard hat, and wear a green crystal necklace to have a dragon relationship. I had to sit him down and have a talk about the difference between reality and fiction. The good, fun magic shown in this book is not real. Humans are not that powerful unless they harness some evil spirits and even then they are still not that powerful. Second that he should not be mixing or messing with chemicals he does not fully understand because he could mix the wrong things together and hurt himself. He needs to study chemistry and even then he has to follow the instructions in the lab manual. Third, the truth is that most magic practices in the real world throughout human history have been mostly pure evil or perpetuated falsehoods to make money off their victims - like cutting off body parts to put into mojo bags, sacrificing children to control the weather, eating humans to see what they see and defeat your enemies, or mummifying bodies with false promises they can be reborn only if their body stays recognizable. Rarely has magical practice to force nature or gods to do whatever you want ever worked or been that helpful. So the books were great, but having to explain the difference between real and fantasy and magic is required... which you were going to have to talk to your kids about anyway whenever they read the Harry Potter series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice introduction to the magical Kingdom of Wrenly
    Reviewed in Canada on August 31, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Eight year-old Prince Lucas is lonely without any friends to play with and wishes he could get out of the castle for adventure. He is eventually allowed to revive a friendship with a girl from the village (Clara) and the two of them head off on a hunt for his mother's emerald, taking them through the various lands of Wrenly.

    This is a lovely book to help encourage early readers to transition to chapter books. The story line is easy to follow, and the language is also easy to read with a good smattering of a few more advanced words to help expand the child's vocabulary. This was a quick read for my six-year-old, and although my eight-year-old blazed through the book in no time, he also enjoys the story very much and both of the kids have taken up the book again to re-read it. As this is the first book in the series, we only have a brief introduction of each character, but the children are both very likeable and I'm sure we can look forward to seeing their personalities develop further as the series progresses. They also show a nice level of insight and maturity; it's nice that Prince Lucas is not presented as a spoiled, entitled member of royalty. Charming black-and-white illustrations throughout the book help to keep visual interest and make the book less daunting to novice readers (I remember our children being apprehensive of starting longer books without pictures because they were "big kid books").

    The story ends on a happy note, leaving us looking forward to following along as Lucas and Clara come upon new adventures.

    I find the story a bit stereotypical and blah, but my 5-year-old loves it, which is the important thing! I've read it to her at least 5 times since we got it a month ago. I think because of the simple vocabulary it will make a good book for her to read to herself in a couple of years too. We'll definitely be getting more in the series.

    The Kingdom of Wrenly series are a set of great first chapter books for young readers who are just beginning to take an interest in reading for themselves, or reading with an adult. (both girls and boys ages 6-8, depending on reading level.)

    Filled with black and white illustrations and a detailed map to set the stage and engage the reader with the visual worlds of Wrenly.

    Full of travel and exploration through a fairy tale, fantasy world where the readers meet Dragons, Trolls, Wizards and much, much more.

    Cute story for kids. 5 year old took only a few pages before getting into this book. It’s a chapter series, but large font (larger than most other series we’ve tried) and lots of pictures, keeping it interesting and making it a great starting series to get early readers into chapter books.
