Review of "The Search for the Red Dragon" by James A. Owen
This newest episode in The Chronicles of Imagination Geographica series takes us to the Far East. Our heroes John, Jack and Charles are now Caretakes of the Imaginarium Geographica and they've come together to solve the mysterious kidnappings of children of the Archipelago. Their adventure takes them from Kensington Gardens in England to places of ancient legend and dragonships. (Be sure to check out our review of "Awakening the Dragon: The Dragon Boat Festival" in our June, 2007 issue to learn more about the centuries of history behind the dragon boats). Its a full-sized fantasy tale of mystery and adventure for children in the upper grades.
Rainbo Electronic Reviews published this review in our March, 2008 issue.
