Publisher's summary

The kids at school call Billy "Dragon Breath" for good reason. His breath is bad! It isn't the normal, morning-mouth bad; it's the hot-as-fire, "don't-you-dare-get-near-me" bad. And hearing "Dragon Breath" ringing in his ears, he constantly tries to cool his oral volcano. Trouble erupts when his hot breath sets off the fire sprinklers in the boys' restroom at school, and his parents learn that they've kept their secret for too long. Billy finally discovers the secret. His father was once a dragon!

Now that's a piece of news a guy doesn't deal with every day! Billy feels betrayed, alien, lost. When his father reverts to his dragon form, and they're both chased by dragon slayers, he learns to trust his father again, battling the slayers with weapons of steel and spirit. Bonnie, an orphan, tries to find a home, someone to love her, even though she feels like a freak because of a body feature that she calls a deformity, her dragon wings, inherited from her now dead dragon mother. She discovers that her love for others and her faith in a Creator hold the answers she is looking for.

Good Story

missing little bits and pieces from the book... just a few words, but when you are reading along, it throws you off...

Enjoyed rereading one of my childhood favorites!

I read this series in middle school, and I was excited to find the books on Audible. Performance-wise, there are areas the audio will skip and repeat, and on occasion the characters' voice inflections will lack in context causing the listener to mentally correct the tone/pitch. However, the story is just as good as I remember. Definitely recommend.

An awesome story, with plenty of comedy

For anyone who loves a good story, or dragons, or even legends of King Arthur ,and love to ask what it might be like if dragons DID exist, and how they may have survived. Then this is the book for you. This book quickly became a favorite of mine, and it is a very high recommendation to anyone who loves stories like this.

Great Book

What made the experience of listening to Raising Dragons the most enjoyable?

The book made you want to keep listening. It was well written and I loved how they were able to make reference to God.

Fun story, terrible voice acting

Title says it all. Voice actora sound seem to have a hard time matching tone of voice with the situation their characters are in. It's like listening to an elementary school play. Fun story though, i remember reading the series as a child.
