Best Written Book Response: PM Class

Nick's summary was selected as best book response from PM class. He summarized well, wrote with complex sentences, and seems to show mastery of capitalizing proper nouns (a major problem with many students this year).

Dragons of Deltora #1:
Dragon's Nest


by Nick


Lief, Bardaj, and Jasmine have started a mission to track down and annihilate the four sisters who are evil inventions created by the Shadow Lord, and they are poisoning Deltora. To finish the mission they have to find and awaken the last ancient seven dragons of Deltora.

The seven Ak-baba, another of the Shadow Lords evil accomplishments, hunted the seven dragon tribes near the point of extinction. At the end of the hunt only one dragon from each domain, separated by gem type, remained alive. To save the seven dragons, the best known adventurer in Deltora, Doran the Dragon Lover (one of the dragons' best friends), talked them into sleeping until a king, wielding the magic Belt of Deltora, called them to awaken. He made each dragon promise not to take advantage and conquer each other's domains while they were in their magical sleep.

The Sister of the East is located at Dragon's Nest. Once Lief and his companions locate Dragon's Nest, they find out that the Sister of the East is a giant egg. To kill it, they give the ruby dragon, Joyou, all of their strength. Joyou releases a giant fireball, and the Sister of the East is annihilated. Then they find a map showing them where the Sister of the North is located, and on the map it says it is at the Shadowgate.
