This book was very unique compared to other books I have read. The book was called "Dragons in a Bag" by Zetta Elliott. I say this because it was very different with the style of text. Some parts acted like a children's book, I think is a bit too easy for us now. The book did have interesting parts like the adventure the protagonist when through to complete his mission.This was my favorite part of the book. The genre of the book is Fantasy because as in real life there are no such things as dragons and the mission that they went through. I would say this book is very interesting and easy to read for more lower level readers. The vocabulary and structure of each sentence was easy to read. I would give this book a 3/5 as I personally got bored throughout the book, for me it just felt like it went down hill as the book progressed. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading fantasy stories or are more of a lower type of reader. Overall this book was great but it needs a little more fixing to make it the perfect fit for a Grade 7 student. (Jackson. Grade 7)

The Book " Dragons In A Bag" by Zetta Elliott was an interesting book. When Jax's mother has to deal with an emergency she leaves him at the care of an old woman called Ma. Ma starts acting weird and keeps strange secrets from Jax. After some time, they start to trust each other more and Jax even decides to help Ma with a special "delivery" she has to make. Will Jax be able to follow the two important ground rules that Ma said were not to be broken? One, NEVER EVER open the tin they have to deliver and two, absolutely never feed what's inside. Jax soon discovers Ma's secret along with the mysterious content of the tin. This was a pretty exciting and easy book for me to read. I would mostly recommend it for ages around 9 to 14. (Nina.
