How to Read Dragon Keepers

Read The Dragon in the Sock Drawer through The Dragon at the North Pole in numbered order. Emmy grows and the cousins discover more of the magical realms in each continuing adventure.

Leandra and Obsidian is a 35-page ebook background story about Emmy's parents and the second dragon egg in book 5. Penguin Random House says it adds background to The Dragon in the Sea, so it fits best after book 4 and before book 5, but it is not numbered book 5.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

The adventures include kidnapping, witches, monsters, water zombies, magical battles, and repeated danger to dragons and children. The principal villain survives by drinking dragon blood, an unsettling idea that is described for middle-grade readers without graphic detail. Humor, teamwork, and caring for Emmy keep the overall tone adventurous rather than grim.
