About this ebook

Four boys from different races and nationalities are drawn together by a potent magic that hurtles them into worlds populated by heroes and dragons

Sig, Artie, Kim, and Ras go to the same school but have nothing in common—except for the urge to explore an abandoned house in the neighborhood. Who knows what treasures they’ll unearth? In one of the rooms is a dusty old box with four pictures of dragons on top, containing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle all jumbled together. But they glitter like jewels and lead each boy back to an enchanted time.
 
Sig becomes a Viking warrior who must slay a dragon who had once been a man and now guards a cursed treasure. Ras is a Nubian prince sold into captivity; he can only escape by killing a deadly Egyptian serpent. As Artos, named for Caesar, High King of Britain, Artie lives under the yoke of Saxon tyranny, waging war to defend King Arthur and the Pendragon flag. Now a sword bearer and page in the imperial palaces of the great Chinese emperor, Kim must follow the path of the slumbering dragon. Against a backdrop of myth and fantasy, acclaimed author Andre Norton weaves an enthralling tale of friendship, faith, loyalty, and heroism.
 
Dragon Magic is the 4th book in the Magic Sequence, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Andre Norton

For well over a half century, Andre Norton was one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. Since her first SF novels were published in the 1940s, her adventure SF has enthralled readers young and old. With series such as Time Traders, Solar Queen, Forerunner, Beast Master, Crosstime, and Janus, as well as many stand-alone novels, her tales of action and adventure throughout the galaxy have drawn countless readers to science fiction. Her fantasy, including the best-selling Witch World series, her "Magic" series, and many other unrelated novels, has been popular with readers for decades. Lauded as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, she is the recipient of a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention. Not only have her books been enormously popular; she also has inspired several generations of SF and fantasy writers, especially many talented women writers who have followed in her footsteps. In the past two decades she worked with other writers on a number of novels. Most notable among these were collaborations with Mercedes Lackey, the Halfblood Chronicles, as well as collaborations with A.C. Crispin (in the Witch World series) and Sherwood Smith (in the Time Traders and Solar Queen series). Andre Norton passed away in 2005.

    That's good. Funny, by modern standards it's basically an unfinished story - there 'must' be some reason, some quest or duty for the boys that the dragons made for them. But the story just ends - with the four of them as friends, now, and each with an insight into the proper way to act, but without any real point to the dragons. My view is probably affected by knowing there's a sequel, which will probably be more 'proper' by modern fantasy standards, with a purpose and a quest. But Draqon Magic is extremely rich without that overarching quest. I liked the shoutout to Rosemary Sutcliff - Judith Tarr's Egyptian stories are younger, and probably Norton's own as well. I don't know a good Fafnir story nor any for the Slumbering Dragon - but I'll be keeping an eye out for them from now on. This is one of those stories that without any great fanfare or even quoteable lines weaves its way into your (well, my, at least) worldview. I like.

    I originally read this been when I was a preteen and I was in love. True, I would love to have read about at least one young lady, but this was an incredible book. Now, many, many years later, it is still a magical read. I highly recommend reading it to your preteen.
