Description:
Every time something goes missing from the village, Sir Violet makes his way to the dragon’s cave and negotiates the item’s return. It’s annoying, but at least the dragon is polite.
But when the dragon hoards a person, that’s a step too far. Sir Violet storms off to the mountainside to escort the baker home, only to find a more complex mystery-a quest that leads him far beyond the cave. Accompanied by the missing baker’s wife and the dragon himself, the dutiful village knight embarks on his greatest adventure yet.

I enjoyed reading The Dragon of Ynys. It is a fast-paced tale that has a strong focus on acceptance both of others and oneself. It is squarely aimed at a middle grade reading level. This isn’t a bad thing; it is just something to be aware of. If you are looking for a book with depth, this is not the book for you. My favorite thing about the Dragon of Ynys isn’t necessarily the story. It’s the naming convention that the Minerva used. It is delightfully refreshing.
