The New Kid at School (Dragon Slayer' Academy, vol. 1) / Kate McMullan / 109 pgs. / 1st in a Series

Wiglaf is a small, scrawny, boy who gets picked on by his older brothers and is forced to do all of the household chores.  To change his destiny, he leaves home and joins Dragon Slayers' Academy where he will learn to slay dragons and collect their horde.  With his trusty pet pig by his side he is off for adventure and learn to become a hero.

Kids will enjoy this funny, entertaining read.  The adult characters are a bit mean and cartoony, reminiscent of Rohl Dahl books.  The book has plenty of action and funny over the top antics that will make younger kids laugh, and some inside jokes for the adults.
