CHAPTER 1

Blast Off?

Get ready for countdown! Zeke Bird said, adjusting his goggles. I’m going to blast off on a dragon!

Ha ha, you’ll blast all right, said his sister, Hannah. ’Cause the last time you flew on a dragon, you barfed all over our school.

Hannah twirled on one foot and sang:

"Fish-head stew is raining down,

Zeke launched his lunch all over town.

You better run. You better hide.

When Zeke goes for a dragon ride."

I didn’t barf, grumbled Zeke. But he had to admit it had been a close call. This time would be better.

It was Saturday morning, and Zeke was out in the backyard with Hannah and their new BFF (Beast Friend Forever) named Otto. Otto could do amazing things. A few days before, he’d magically traded one of Zeke’s drawings for an awesome, fiery, farting dragon. Zeke had zoomed through the sky on the dragon. It had been like riding a crazy flying roller coaster. Then POOF! The dragon had disappeared. Now Zeke wanted to ride that dragon again.

neat book

Otto helps deal with bullying in a magically constructive manner. Beast Friends Forever Book 2 is an adorable mix of a comic book and children's short story with energetic engaging action based illustrations that makes a great summer read for kdis 9 and under. The main characters are Zeke and Hannah a brother and sister duel who have a creature friend, pet, playmate named Otto. Otto showed up one day in a box of candy that their Navy bound father sent them in the mail. Otto is the cutest little furry thing you will ever meet who speaks those adorable short-word sentences a 2 year old would speak. But don't take Otto to be boring as he has powers, even if he doesn't quite yet know how to control them, but Zeke and Hannah find immensely interesting. Who knew you could trade that old junk in your room for awesome treasures. Zeke and Hannah do and they know when Otto touches them while shouting out the magic word, magical things happen. I found this to be a unique story and the characters mix well. The book also deals with bullying in a constructive way by adding other characters into the magical mix. One of those other interesting characters in the book is a boy named Sal. Sal is the neighborhood bully and Otto tries to help Zeke and Hannah take control of the situation when Sal decides to push his weight around. Beast Friends Forever is book 2 in the series for the Evans brothers and reading it out of order does not take anything away from the story itself. The book is for ages 7 and up, although I would recommend it for ages 7-10.
