Book Reviews of Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher

Book Review: JEREMY THATCHER, DRAGON HATCHER
Summary: 5 Stars

Full moons light to wake the egg,
Full moons light to hatch it
Midsummer's Night will crack the world,
But St John Day will patch it

This is the incantation that Jeremy Thatcher has to recite in order to hatch a dragon egg!! One day whale fleeing from some bullies and Mary Lou Hutton (a girl who wants to kiss him!) Jeremy stumbles on to a magic shop and saw a sign that reads:

ELIVES' MAGIC SUPPLES
S.H. ELIVES PROP.

He buys a colorful orb, like a "kaleidoscope" which turns out to be a dragon egg!!! Soon the dragon named Tiamat starts to cause an abundance of trouble. No one else can see her besides Jeremy and Mary Lou. What will happen when Tiamat gets too big? Read the book, find out. You won't be sorry.

I would recommend this book for 4-6 graders. I loved this book. I read it again and again. Colville is a genus!

Summary of Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher

Read by the author and the Words Take Wing TM Repertory Co.
Two cassettes / approx. 2 hours 30 mins.

"To quicken the egg, take it outside at midnight on the night of the next full moon.  Lift it to the moonlight and wisper:

Full moon's light to wake the egg
Full moon's light to hatch it;
Midsummer Night will crack the world,
But St. John's day will patch it."


When Jeremy Thatcher follows the strange instructions given to him by the weird old man who runs Elives' Magic Shop, he finds himself raising a tiny, mischief-loving dragon names Tiamat.  But as Jeremy soon learns, even a tiny dragon can mean big trouble.

And Tiamat isn't going to stay tiny for long...

Here is a tale filled with laughter, and a few tears, that will make your heart take wing.
