One of last weekend's finds was the second book of The Dragon Master's series--Saving the Sun Dragon.

Drake, our hero, is plucked out of his family's onion fields and brought to an underground school for dragon masters, controlled by the king. There, he learns that something intrinsic in him makes him a dragon master--the stone given to him to wear glows when his connection to his dragon, Worm, is strong. At the end of book one, he and his friends have a close call with dark magic.

Book two opens with his friend's Sun Dragon sick from the dark magic. They learn in a magical book that Sun Dragons have a twin Moon Dragon that can heal them from just about anything, but where in the world can they find her twin?

Worm's magic carries them through geographic space, and they find themselves in Egypt! Looks like they found another dragon master--but he doesn't call himself that. He wears the stone all the other dragon masters wear, but he explains that he doesn't serve a king, and he is not a master. His family has simply always helped dragons when they come to them. He is the boy associated with the Moon Dragon they had been hopeless to find.

In the first book, we picked up that the king who commissioned Griffith, the dragon masters' teacher, to train dragon masters has some secret, possibly sinister plan for these dragons. That is more clearly stated in this book, but we still don't know what it is.

Themes in this book seem to be patience, and that your skill, identity, and relational bonds take different amounts of time for different people and different relationships. Don't get discouraged, and don't give up on them.
