Reviews

An enchanting conclusion to the Dragonkeeper series… ageless appeal.

Judge's Report, Children's Book Council of Australia

Carole Wilkinson’s trilogy is elevated to the rank of epic with its conclusion Dragon Moon… The simplicity of Wilkinson’s prose veils sophisticated layers of meaning that linger long after the plot is worked through and the book is set (reluctantly) down… a mystical, action-packed, evocative and engaging story that transcends the narrow limits and readership of the fantasy genre leaving the reader enriched, elevated and enchanted

Bookseller+Publisher

…witty dialogue, admirable heroine, and tense action, this is good, old-fashioned storytelling.
