The Fire Within

The Fire Within by Chris D'Lacey is a book that I enjoyed reading very much. Talking of dragons and models and mythical creatures, the Fire Within starts an epic series pertaining to dragons and other mythical creatures.

Do you believe in the powers of Dragons? David, as the main character of the story, kind of has to, seeing the place where he recently moved in. With Liz and her eleven-year-old daughter, Lucy, he finds a collection of clay dragons that may come to life. David's own special dragon inspires him to write a story, which reveals the secrets behind a mystery. Soon David, in order to solve the mystery and save his dragon, must master the magic of the fire within. Yet that's easier said than done. He must master it with his hands as much as his heart. 

The Fire Within is a book I read when I was pretty young, and the material can be read by anyone from 6 and up, really. The Fire Within is a great realistic-fantasy novel and I really loved it because from a young age, I was a fantasy lover. This book had dragons and fantasy, two things that I really enjoyed reading. Also, since there is a whole series, this book will keep you entertained and reading for a long time. I couldn't set it down until I finished, and still, I can go back to it, and happily read it all over again.

With the imagination of J.K. Rowling and the down-to-earth-ness of any non-fiction writer, Chris D'Lacey really talks of things that could actually happen in real life. As long as you believe, this story could have happened- and to anyone really. That's what I love about this book. It's amazing, a great read, easy to get into, and easy to relate to your regular life.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes dragons and/or fantasy. It's a great read and I bet anyone who gives it a try will love it!

*** I give this book a 9.5 out of 10!***
