The Dragonships series mixes fantasy with science fiction, and is perfect for readers aged 8+. If you like dragons, space or both, you NEED to add this to your TBR list.
The books are set in a world where each planet, moon and star have a dragon of their own. And when a young Mars-bound boy called Lunar discovers one, he begins to believe there might be hope not only for his unfortunate fate, but for Mars and the entire solar system. Together with his group of friends, the the Dread Knights, Lunar is set to save the galaxy.
Scott Reintgen is best known for his Nyxia series. The Dragonships draws on all the things we love best from Skandar, Percy Jackson and The Inheritance Cycle: friendship, incredible creatures and a whole lot of adventure.
