About this audiobook
Fans of Harry Potter and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will relish this teenage dragon's spellbinding love story filled with bighearted humor and imagination. "No good human won't love this dragon named Gork." -Dave Eggers Gork isn't like the other dragons at WarWings Military Academy. He has a gigantic heart, two-inch horns, and an occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious-the lowest in his class. But he is determined not to let any of this hold him back as he embarks on the most important mission of his life: tonight, on the eve of his high school graduation, he must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says yes, they'll go off to conquer a foreign planet together. If she says no, Gork becomes a slave. Vying with Jocks, Nerds, Mutants, and Multi-Dimensioners to find his mate, Gork encounters an unforgettable cast of friends and foes, including Dr. Terrible, the mad scientist; Fribby, a robot dragon obsessed with death; and Metheldra, a healer specializing in acupuncture with swords. But finally it is Gork's biggest perceived weakness, his huge heart, that will guide him through his epic quest and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet Earth. A love story, a fantasy, and a coming-of-age story, Gork the Teenage Dragon is a wildly comic, beautifully imagined, and deeply heartfelt debut novel that shows us just how human a dragon can be.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5where do I start ?? I had thought I would abandon this, but then I re-read some of the reviews, and people had said it was redeeming at the end. ( I didn't feel that it was). I'm not sure if it was aimed at middle grade or YA or adult, but any way, it's inappropriate. If it's middle grade, there is way too much sexy innuendo and language. If it's YA or adult, it's too juvenile. It's repetitive. I was listening to an audiobook ( 10 hours !!) and I kept on thinking it had restarted the CD, only to see it was actually on another track, repeating what they had said 3 tracks (chapters) ago. It was painful. And it was weird. Scaly green ass. Scaly green head, Scaly this and that. luscious tail. Calling all the females chicks, and commenting on their tails, "dripping ovowombs", so bizarre. It touts itself as a cross between Game of Thrones and Hitchhikers Guide. It SO isn't either. It's a badly written, offensively sexist, weird book. I feel like the audience would be 13-17 yr old boys that live in the basement and play videogames, and would watch dinosaur porn. It's getting 1 star only because i can't give it 0.01. Hated it. I am confounded by the rave reviews it gets, I can only wonder if they are all family. Thank goodness I didn't buy this. I feel like I should notify the library how inappropriate it is.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gork, the Teenage Dragon: A novel by Gabe Hudson had my "scaly green ass" laughing throughout the hilarious antics and witty dialogue in this book. Gork, our teen dragon, is called Weak Sauce because he is different than the other dragons. Only 2" horns, faints, afraid of heights, and has an oversized heart, literally and figuratively. He is suppose to find a Queen before he graduates the academy for dragons or he has to be a slave. If he finds a Queen that will except him, he gets to go with his Queen to a planet and start a new life. He has deal with bullies, nerds, mutants, and robot dragons. It is a comical, witty, tender, coming of age of age story with magical and delightful fantasy and just a hint of romance. Humor sprinkled generously!!! I giggled so much reading this book. There are so many scenes and phrases that caught me off guard that had me laughing and snorting. What a gem of a book! Thanks NetGalley, I haven't enjoyed a book like this in such a long time!
