Dragon In A Bag by Zetta Elliott. The genre of this novel is fantasy and fiction. This book is great for fantasy readers or anyone who wants to explore this genre. This perticular novel also has some images after a few pages for the reader to be able to visualize whats happening. For example there is a perticular part in the book which a boy meets his grandmother. While reading it there will be a image witht he grandmother peeking through the gap of the door. This makes it easier for the read to visualize the situation. Overall in my opinion this book is great when it comes to visualizing and other aspects. (Kobe, Grade 6)

I think this book is an excellent example of a well-written child fantasy book.

It was very easy to read but also had an interesting story.

Zetta Elliott, the author of this book did a really good job of writing the story. The topic “Dragon” itself was very interesting but the author added some mysteries, friendship, and action stories to make the book more interesting. And it was also nice to have some pictures together with writing, it helped me a lot in understanding the story more.

And lastly, the book gives you life lessons too. They can make you think about the importance of family and helping each other.

Overall I liked reading this interesting book, I would recommend it to anyone that likes reading. (Lael, Grade 6)

This book, called Dragons in a Bag, is a fantasy-type story about a nine-year-old boy who is tasked with transporting newborn dragons to a magical world. I also think this book is excellent because it talks about a boy whose name is Jaxon and how an old woman that his mom calls Ma is actually not his grandma. In this book, there are some violent parts and some good parts. The book is filled with lots of action and has a very imaginative feel to it when you read it. I think this book is really good in the sense that it talks about a mythical creature in real life, which is the dragon. I also think this book would be best for a younger kid because it is more of a non-realistic book and not very hard. I think this book was really good and intriguing, and I would recommend it if you just want to read a little easy book. (Kiran, Grade 7)

"Dragons in a bag" is a very unique book and has a lot of good story progression.  Zetta Elliot, the author of the book has done a outstanding job on her book with a very realistic story like you can feel all the tension in the book. It follows a fantasy story line with you seeing the highs and lows of a child's perspective dealing with working for a witch. I recommend this book highly to anyone who loves fantasy, science fiction, etc.  (Jeho, Grade 6)
