Roses in the Dragon's Den

De: Jacob Devlin

Narrado por: Danny Pardo

Twelve-year-old siblings Karina and Charlie Rosas aren't looking forward to vacationing with their estranged uncle. But when the Fernweh Express derails and tosses them into a wild, unrecognizable land, they trust he'll know what to do. After all, Diego Rosas wrote the book on survival in deserts and arctic tundras. There's nothing he can't handle...until a colossal, fire-breathing dragon snatches him up and carries him away, leaving the siblings to embark on an impossible rescue mission.

With the natural elements working against them, the Rosas family adventures through the curse-infested, uncharted world in order to solve the mystery of what doomed their travels. When they meet up with a dwarf and a pirate queen who offer aid, Karina and Charlie must decide whether they can trust anyone willing to voyage into a dragon's den. But if the siblings ever want to return home, they must trust and lean on each other, and above all, hope Uncle Diego is still alive.

Wonderful family adventure

This was a lot of fun. The story was original, and yet included many favorite mythical characters in an unobtrusive way. A great story about values, family, perseverance, and respect for nature, but mostly a fun adventure. The characters are wonderful. I received a free review copy of the audio version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fun story!

This was a fun, fast listen. The characters are wonderful and very well developed. It was about family, environmental values and perseverance. I definitely recommend it.

tried

I listened to about half of the book but it just didn't hold my attention.

Lively Story

Except for the deep voice, it was easy to imagine I was in the company of 2 young kids

Enjoyable Fantasy for the Younger Crowd

This was my first experience with Jacob Devlin's work. I was very entertained by the book, even though it was written for children in middle school. The story featured twelve-year-old siblings who went on vacation with their uncle. The train that they were on was derailed, and it deposited the family into an unknown land. I liked the cousins as they were both determined and responsible. I appreciated the theme of family that was part of the foundation of the story, but also one of its driving forces. I was entertained by the creatures that took part in the adventure. I am looking forward to more stories featuring these characters. Danny Pardo's narration was enjoyable, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
