Dragonbreath #5: No Such Thing as Ghosts Hardcover – July 21, 2011

Our 8 yr old son LOVED the Dragon Breath series because they make him "Laugh his head off!". He has read every book in the series, a few of them in a day. When asked why he likes these books he said "Because they have good characters, are funny, adventurous, and the story lines are crazy - crazy AWESOME!". All of theses things make this book and the others in the series incredibly interesting to a kiddo who enjoys funny adventures.As a parent I appreciate that they are funny without being totally stupid and that they are easy to read without being "dumbed down". I would say the reading level is higher than Big Nate but not as high as say Harry Potter. These are great transition books for readers who need a bit more of a challenge. However they are also great for more advanced readers who just want to read a great story about an amazing adventure.Overall a great series and I would highly recommend for the 8-9 yr old set.

We're working through the Dragonbreath books with my 6 and 8 year olds, and they're just fantastic, so much better than most books for that age range. If you haven't read much Ursula Vernon, she's beyond amazing.However, this one is a little bit scary. We had to finish the book (of course everything turns out okay) instead of going to bed partway through. If your reader is on the younger side or especially sensitive to that, you might want to hold off on this particular entry. It's a really good book--it's just got more of a horror twist than the ones that come before it.

Getting boys to read can be difficult but this series has captured my kids - boys and girls alike - and Dragonbreath #5 lives up to the series reputation of being a good read. It also has a big attraction for reluctant readers. My students fight over who gets the next book in the series first but my own sons won't let anyone read them until they have finished them. I love watching kids get excited over books and this series has helped spark an interest in my kids.

The book came in perfect condition. Laughs for my son and myself.

My grandson loves this series. It's a fun book to get for him, 'cause I know he'll actually READ it!

I bought these as a gift for my 10 year old nephew and he loved it!

My 7&9 year old boys loooove this series. We’ve bought every single one and they giggle throughout. It’s made nightly reading so much easier because they really look forward to it. My 7 year old is an advanced reader. 3rd-4th grade is a good level for this book.

I loved the book it had a great plot line and a good mystery behind the book even though it was in the fantasy genre and the character personalities went great with the animal the creators gave the main character and even the side characters
