Bookroo's summary
Wiglaf's life takes a wild turn when a minstrel predicts his heroic future. Enrolling at the Dragon Slayers' Academy, he faces a daunting challenge: his aversion to blood. As he navigates this perilous path, Wiglaf must confront his fears and discover if he truly has what it takes to become a dragon slayer. Will he rise to the occasion or crumble under the pressure? Join Wiglaf on his journey filled with unexpected twists and humorous encounters at the academy, where every student has a secret and a dream.
From the publisher
The Dragon Slayers’ Academy is back-and it’s bigger and better than ever! The books have new covers and are now 112 pages long. Expanded from the old 96-page format, they now feature a fun Dragon Slayers’ Academy Yearbook at the end of each story, with funny profiles of the faculty, the staff, and, especially, the students of D.S.A. All the things kids want to know about their favorite characters are revealed: their silly nicknames, inner secrets, wildest dreams, and lofty plans for the future! When a traveling minstrel foretells that he is to become a hero, Wiglaf sets out to fulfill his destiny: he signs up at the Dragon Slayers’ Academy. But how can he ever hope to be a dragon slayer when he can’t even stand the sight of blood? Illustrated by Bill Basso.
