Resumen del Editor

When you’re 11 years old, it’s tough convincing people to take you seriously. When you’re an 11-year-old savant, It’s exponentially more difficult.

Since Jake’s inability to connect with others had made him somewhat of an outcast for most of his life, he’d learned to divert his energy into his artistic talent, creating mesmerizing images capable of literally paralyzing anyone who should gaze upon them.

For Jake, it was normal to see and perceive things others were incapable of recognizing, but even he was caught completely off-guard when confronted with the reality that dragons not only exist, but that one of them was destined to become his very own.

As the bond between Jake and his dragon evolves and deepens, it becomes increasingly difficult to explain the uncanny occurrences which seem to accompany them, all while keeping the very existence of his dragon a secret.

While most people accept the logical explanations for the unusual activities surrounding them, dragoneers are not most people and they are dead set on capturing Jake’s dragon.

Turbo & Jake

Love the book. Jake reminds me of my grandson, so it was that much more enjoyable. The form turbo chooses is pretty funny but it works. This would make an awesome anime. AC Oliver, awesome job man. You knocked this one out of the park. I was immersed in the story immediately. Looking forward to book 2. Everyone keep up the good work.

Appropriate for any age!

When I listen to a story, I particularly look for age appropriateness and wonder generated. This story is well written and well narrated. And the story will capture the attention of any age that has heard of dragons. This story does, indeed, create wonder. Enough wonder that this 60 year old feels young and wishes she had her own dragon!!! I'd call that wonderment! ENJOY😘

Soul Bond Friends

I must admit that this book was just as good as I thought it would be. I would recommend this book to anyone who is over the age of 12 and has a love and respect for Dragons. The story is educational, fascinating, unique, fast-paced, and heartwarming. The bond between Jake and Turbo is absolutely perfect and unbreakable. I loved how well the author developed the characters over time and made it believable. The book was a phenomenal thrill ride of suspense and growth.
I received this book for free upon my request, but that has no bearing on this review that I give willingly and voluntarily.

absolutely heartwarming and fabulous story!

Amazing story about a boy on the spectrum and his relationship with a fabulous dragon. Highlights that viewing things differently may not be a disadvantage at all, just a different and possibly better perspective. Narrator brought the characters to life and certain points in this story were so good that it actually brought tears to my eyes and I can't wait to dive into the next book!

A Great and Lovely Story

I loved the story and truely wish this actually happened here, now a days. This is a Wonderfully written story and I hope opens other people's eyes to the need for actuall farmers and thier families. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters and entire storyline.

Heartwarming Story

Perfect book for younger readers. Found the narration a little slow, but still good. Interesting story of a boy and his dragon and all he accomplishes with a little bit of confidence.

Received this book for free in return for an honest review.
