The Story of Owen....

This was a really interesting book.  It took a modern setting but threw in dragon slaying.  What I liked about it was how certain aspects of history were tied in with the dragons.  I also liked the relationship between Owen and his bard Siobhan.  This was surprisingly good and not at all what I expected.

That said, for my students, mainly grades 4 and 5 I think this is a bit too complex and the historical references will be over their heads.  I also felt there was a bit of a lag in the middle of the book but overall I enjoyed it.
