Rating: 5 Ravens
Zachary Pill is a nerd with no friends who gets picked on daily by the school bully. On the very day that Zachary wishes magic really existed he finds out it really does. He is thrown into a world of enchantment and wonder hidden among ours where he learns you should really be careful what you wish for.
Zachary Pill and the Dragon At Stations End was written by Tim Greaton and is the first book in the series. Its a fantasy set in our modern time on earth. With elements of action, adventure and hilarity Tim Greaton weaves a story that anyone can enjoy.
This book just has so much going for it. Written in a style that anyone including young readers can follow it is a fast read that you really dont want to put down... EVER. This was one of those books that when your reading it and you have something to do you convince yourself that its ok to read just one more chapter. It was so easy to get lost in the book and lose track of time. I have to say that my favorite parts of the book included the scenes of discovery when Zachary and his friend Bret decide to look through his fathers magical belongings to see if there is anything they can use. Tim Greaton has quite the imagination and I loved his creativity when coming up with the items within the box. Speaking of creativity there are also alot of characters I liked as well. No two characters are the same and you really want to know why they are the way they are. Some of them are pretty kooky and that added alot to the story.
I give this book 5 ravens and recommend it for anyone 14+. I would even recommend it for a mature 12-13 year old it is a "longer" book but it has alot of elements and surprises that you keep you laughing, guessing and turning the page.
