LIVE THE MAGIC LOVE THE ADVENTURE

Ivy and Carrie love their new classroom even if the new teacher is a little strange. When Mrs. Huffity asks for volunteers to care for an egg, Ivy doesn’t budge. She’s had a few scary dreams about that egg and wants nothing to do with it. But when trouble comes, Ivy defends the egg. In her desire to save the baby that hatches, Ivy is tossed into the middle of an adventure. She discovers more than she ever wanted to know about fierce winds and fiery dragons.

I don't eat dragons, fairies, or toadstools, although I will admit to swallowing the occasional gnat. I also write. You'll find my books are full of adventures and well, dragons.

I don't eat dragons, fairies, or toadstools, although I will admit to swallowing the occasional gnat. One really couldn't swallow a dragon or fairy without full knowledge. In addition, I write. You'll find my books are full of adventures and well, dragons. Soon I'll be entering a new galaxy with a science fiction adventure. I look forward to seeing you there.

A wonderful children’s book that teaches valuable life lessons.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

More often than not children relate themselves with the characters of a good story. In such circumstances, reading fiction can help them to get inspiration from the characters. These stories often portray real life implications through anecdotes, and as such makes it easier for them to understand the complex aspects of life. Moreover, reading these stories at regular intervals can actually help them to develop a positive outlook towards life, which eventually proves beneficial for good character development.

Fierce Winds and Fiery Dragons is a delightful and charming book for the younger reader. I read it with my grandkids and they loved. Nan Sweet writes in a wonderful, simple and imaginative style that will guarantee the attention of young minds. If you ever wanted to bond even more with your children or grandchildren, this would be a lovely story to share with them.

It seems to me that this book was created with a lot of love and joy and it’s clear that the author really enjoys creating such wonderful stories. Thank you for sharing with us the gift that you have obviously worked so hard to refine. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what’s coming next. A well-deserved five stars from us!

An interesting adventure with some humor in the tale

The free book Fierce Winds and Fiery Dragons is the first book in Nan Sweet's Dusky Hollows Series. More than a half dozen books are in the series. This book is about Ivy and her best friend Carrie and a boy David who always taunted them. It is also about a strange new teacher who warned Carrie in a strange voice: "Beware... You will see a great change in the future." Who was this teacher? What did she know? How did she know? What kind of change was coming?

Mrs. Huffity (new teacher) introduced herself to the students: Ivy “Bucktooth”, Carrie (Ivy’s BFF), David, Joe Barry (Barfy), Alison,
Carrie’s evening meal since her dad would not be home, was with mom (Turner's Steakhouse waitress), frozen pizza & in front of the TV.
They had got into another argument.

Ivy (daughter/sister) had a great evening, her/bratty sister, & their wife/mother heard about dad/husband’s promotion.
That night Ivy had a dream about David & an egg.
Carrie found out her parents were getting a divorce & she would be staying with her mom.
Halloween/Birthday party. Barry's father told the kids there was going to be a scavenger hunt.
Barry was showing Ivy around the house & the family aquarium.
He was babysitting the unhatched egg.
Days later Ivy could hear tapping inside the egg.
Suddenly a little dragon started to appear.
Carrie came over & her/Ivy were picking out names for the baby girl.
Maribel Gingledaisy, Hortensia Minnie Scale, Gertrude Firebreath, or Smokey Nostrellia.
How about Sparky.
Mrs. Huffity had Carrie, Ivy, & Sparky transported to Princess Minerva’s (King Glome’s daughter) outer-world castle.
What did King Theo, King Glome (underground) agree on?
Carrie (10) was brought before King Glome.
Ivy, & Sparky had been journeyed to a different place.
Carrie said goodbye to Princess Minerva & headed back home to the overworld.
Ivy had met Twif (bird).
Mama Merilee Jenns (all underworld children’s mother) was singing to Ivy.
Sparky was watching high atop a mountain.

Where would Carrie, Ivy, & Sparky’s adventures take them to next?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written children’s fantasy book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s fantasy movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. It wasn’t as exciting as I hoped so I will only rate it at 4/5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; SmashWords; PDF book

Even though this is labeled a child's book it's hard to see it that way. Actually I believe I'll have to read again to understand it completely, which is ironic since I'm 70 years old.

A great little book which really brings things into focus in a completely different way. Dragons, monsters, and other worlds sweeping through your brain to try and comprehend. It all starts with dreams and an egg. A wonderfully adventurous book that keeps the pace going throughout and a strong development of the characters so you can truely see them grow as time goes on.
