Kira is a typical student – until he sees the Holy Dragon Crystal and gets a vision. Soon he is chosen by the Spirit Core from the Planet Dragza to become the next King of the Dragons known as the Dragon Knights. The Planet Dragza, eons ago, had a devastating battle between the Dragon Knights and the Shadow Dragons. Now the fate of the Multiverse lies in the hands of Strike Dragon, who is destined to bring peace to the Multiverse.
Author Robert Ashby shows his uncanny talent for storytelling with his novel Strike Dragon: The Last of the Light. He creates a story which young readers will gravitate too; they will relate to the characters and find themselves looking for the super hero within themselves. The short chapters are great for kids with shorter attention spans to focus a little more on the story. Ashby’s writing style is clear, concise, and devoid of any complicated ideals that younger audiences may struggle with. This is truly the perfect book for kids and could be a key book to get them interested in reading.
Strike Dragon: The Last of the Light is the kind of book that will have readers returning to the novel, and as they get older, to fondly remember it as one of their favorites. Children will want to share it with their friends and family. It is not a particularly long book which enables kids to stay engaged with it longer – rather than getting bored quickly. It is great as part of a bedtime routine, for calming spaces, even silent reading for school.
Robert Ashby is an author who is perfect for middle grade, young adults and even adult readers. Especially readers who struggle from time-to-time with reading and reading comprehension. The short chapters, the simplistic sentences help audiences focus on the meat of the story without getting jumbled among fluff. It’s a great book for a child’s personal library as well as a school library.
