Winner of the 2009 Alex Award, The Dragons of Babel has the potential to draw fans who love those classic fantasy epics. It is the sequel to The Iron Dragon’s Daughter.  Unlike most epics, this adventurous tale is much shorter and the pace is quick and exciting.    If you want magical creatures and battles with giants, pick it up today! 

If you have read The Dragons of Babel, let me know what you think of the heroic farm boy Will and the world of Babel.

School Library Journal recommends this book for Grade 9 and up.

How many of you loved this book as a little kid or still do?  Check out the new film trailer from YouTube.  After you view it, tell us what you think about books that go to film.  Do you enjoy them, or do you feel like the film never really captured the book?  If you have seen the film and read the book, please let us know what you think!
