Product Description
"Steer infuses the exciting story with the flavor of a nineteenth-century novel and incorporates dragon lore found in his earlier books. Dragon lovers will be well pleased." —-BOOKLIST
Adventure! Villains! And dragons, dragons, dragons! From the creators of the best-selling Dragonology series, this first volume of the Dragonology Chronicles finds Daniel Cook and his sister, Beatrice, studying with eccentric dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake. Soon they’re caught up in a race to find the stolen Dragon’s Eye —- a jewel that has the power to reflect the true Dragon Master —- before it is stolen by the evil Ignatius Crook. Working with Dr. Drake (and many friendly dragons), can these young siblings foil Ignatius and recover the Dragon’s Eye?

Customer Reviews:
• Best Adventure 19 April, 2008
The Dragon's Eye is the best book I've ever read. It's a wonderful fantasy about Dr. Drake and his two dragonological students on an adventure that risks their lives to save the S.A.S.D. (Secret and Ancient Society of Dragonologists) that protects all dragons that remain in the world.

• Disappointed 26 March, 2007
i must admit i was disappointed in this book. they overuse lots of phrases, a hard to follow storyline, and the story was just not very creative. the first chapter is pretty good, but it's all downhill from there. i wouldn't reccomend this book, even though i adored "dragonology-the complete book of dragons". i became bored with the book quickley, and the only reason i finished it, was that i had already started it and i thought i might as well get it over with. i am surprised an adult wrote this book and not a kid, because i would definatly expect more from an adult author.

• Good Reading 01 May, 2007
I loved the book. It keeps you wanting to know what is happening next. It's not a book for someone that is really deep into reading about dragon's, but it is one for the young at heart. If you love an adventure, this is for you.

• The Dragon's "eye" Loved It!!! 23 January, 2007
This was one of the best books I've ever read and is up there with "Harry Potter". It was filled with adventure and if you like dragons it is great for you. It gives you pictures of dragons like The Knucker Weasel. In one part, the evil dragonolist, Ignatious Crook threw Daniel, Beatrice and Dr. Drake into a Bucca (dragon) hole. They found the actual Bucca and it flew away. (The Bucca had a horn for digging and a whip-like tail.) You'll find that the ending is surprising too.

• Courtesy Of Teens Read Too 06 February, 2007
As I read THE DRAGON'S EYE, I kept getting a feeling of deja vu. It took a while to figure out why, but then it came to me. THE DRAGON'S EYE reminded me a little of the SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS books. There was that familiar emphasis on conducting research, and recording findings in little notebooks, and solving problems. Only instead of three orphans dodging Count Olaf, THE DRAGON'S EYE focuses on a brother and sister trying to escape the evil designs of the inferior dragonologist, Ignatius Crook. Unfortunately, this one didn't have the same humor in it that I enjoyed so much in the SOUE books.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about THE DRAGON'S EYE. In the plus column, the novel was heavy on dragons of various types. They all have names and unique personalities. Also, it had an element of boy versus girl competition that seemed to resolve itself reasonably well.
On the other hand, the frequent references to dragon diaries and research methods disrupted the action. Doubtless that was the point -- to identify the importance of learning about a subject before jumping into it and conducting a poor study. But still, the execution was a little heavy-handed for my taste.
For young dragon lovers, this would probably be a popular title. I emphasize the word "young." THE DRAGON'S EYE seems geared to a younger audience than many of the books reviewed here at TeensReadToo. My 14-year-old son read it, too, and he was disappointed because it definitely felt "too young" for him. But for budding fantasy lovers who can't get enough dragons, this one has the potential to be a winner.
