Dragonbreath (Dragonbreath N1)

Meet Danny Dragonbreath—a dragon with big dreams and zero firepower (so far).

If you’re looking for a book that’s laugh-out-loud funny, packed with quirky adventures, and perfect for kids who love a mix of comics and chapter books, Dragonbreath is a must-read. Danny isn’t your typical dragon—he can’t breathe fire yet, middle school is a disaster, and his classmates (including a hyperactive iguana and a skeptical lizard) don’t exactly take him seriously. But when a school project goes hilariously sideways, Danny teams up with his best friend Wendell (a worrywart of a frog) to tackle a challenge that’s equal parts weird, wild, and wonderfully unexpected.

This book is a riotous blend of fantasy, humor, and friendship. Think mythical creatures meets everyday middle-school chaos, with comic-style illustrations that bring the story to life. Author Ursula Vernon’s sharp wit and knack for quirky characters make this a hit for reluctant readers and avid bookworms alike. It’s got just the right amount of gross-out humor, clever dialogue, and heart—without ever taking itself too seriously.

Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Captain Underpants (but with more dragons and swamp monsters), Dragonbreath is the first book in a bestselling series that’s been cracking kids up for over a decade. Whether you’re stocking up for a 8–12 year-old reader or just want something lighthearted and fun, this book promises grins, giggles, and a dragon-sized dose of adventure.

Why readers love it:
✅ Hilarious hybrid of text and comics
✅ Relatable underdog hero + unforgettable sidekicks
✅ Short chapters ideal for building reading confidence
✅ A series starter that hooks ’em early!

Add this cult classic to your cart—it’s the kind of book kids finish and immediately ask, “Is there another one?” 😊
