Book cora and the nurse dragonflight It s a short sweet book and I do wish it were longer just to spend time with the little dragons 215 I won this book in a giveaway hosted by the author and this might just be one of the greatest gifts I ve ever received in my life It s a quick read probably better suited for younger teens and pre teens but I m well past that age and found myself enjoying it than I expected Like every other book by H. Book Cora and the Nurse dragon L Burke I ve read this one is amazing and impossible to put down Cora would love to save up enough money to buy a pet dragon but with her dad s income as a gardener she has to make do with buying small kits of dragon eggs and hoping to hatch a good one So far she s gotten only the tiny mayflies but her luck changes when she rescues a thrown away egg and out hatches a supposedly extinct nurse dragon Cora immediately forms a bond with the dragon but the little guy lands them in some difficult situations I feel like this book should be made into a major motion picture it s that awesome The writing is superb the characters are fun and the story is engaging to say the least To be honest I can t even come across anything negative to say about this book I loved it so much and I look forward to reading many of Heidi s books 215 What a great story in the tradition of dragon keeping Some unique features and plucky young characters make this a tale to remember I would recommend Cora to anyone from ten to adult The writing is extremely good and we are given much food for thought.

Book cora and the nurse dragon ball While I enjoyed this book as an adult it ll definitely appeal to its target audience of kids Cora and her best friend Abry strike a fine balance between following and breaking rules between independence and reaching out to the adults in their lives for help They find a way to deal with bullies as well as higher issues of what makes a law moral The climax is darker than I expected but nothing kids can t handle Overall it s a great clean read for kids with some good messages along the way 215 I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Book cora and the nurse dragonfly This was a pleasant enough middle school book about childhood dreams It had a nice message but it could be a little boring at times 215 I officially love these dragons now Dragons are cool but after this book I think I need one Can t wait to recommend this to my younger siblings Delighted it s truly age appropriate and I ll be able to recommend it 215 Cora and the Nurse Dragon is a fun light read that still takes on a few big issues bullying feeling neglected by a parent and engaging your parent in your adventure I loved the idea of a world where dragons are commercialized bred only in captivity and owned by only a few major corporations Cora hatches a dragon egg that may not have been bred by the companies When that dragon turns out to be a nurse dragon capable of providing the stimulus needed to change what sort of dragon will be born from an egg Cora finds herself neck deep in serious issues With bullies around the corner dragon control officers knocking on the door and a dragon that starts hatching out all sorts of rare dragons from a dime a dozen eggs what will she do A few notes I might have wished for a little nuance where the bad guy was concerned but then I m used to YA reads that tend to get a little darker and complex so that might be me There is also a slight Christian thread running through the story I actually appreciated it given that it wasn t preachy sledgehammer or the like just part of the story And again I really appreciated that the adults were involved in this story as supports to the young people but also with their own backstories and struggles Finally I don t usually read MG so I m rounding up a bit here realizing that I m not quite the target audience for this book 215 Cora and the Nurse Dragon was a delightful read about childhood dreams the reality that often clashes with those and the truth that can resolve all of the above if one is only courageous enough to travel it s difficult path The characters were very well brought to life and they were unique and rounded as well as having refreshing twists built into the framework of their lives Those who seem to be friends aren t always and the same goes for those who seem to be enemies Again a lovely story with a lovely ending 215 This is a children s book which I m guessing is aimed at 8 to 10 year olds but I found it enjoyable as an adult Set in a fantasy world where dragons are real but have become extinct in the wild and are bred for profit it focuses on Cora who wants to be a dragon jockey when she grows up and her best friend Abry who is an entrepreneur in the making The two girls have scraped up enough money to buy a box of dragon eggs from a licenced emporium Most eggs hatch into mayflies tiny dragons that don t live much beyond two months although Cora has been extending their lives with a carefully documented feeding programme but the hope is that occasionally one egg will contain one of the longer lived types of dragon that grow to cat size The really valuable ones are those which can be raced as witnessed by the girls in a nearby stadium and those are beyond most people s means. Book cora and the nurse dragons den Xavien son of a local rich businessman is a bully and when offered the free gift of a box of dragon eggs in the emporium he not only denies it to the girls but pelts them with the eggs and box afterwards Being wealthy he has a racing dragon and despises the little mayflies which he believes are what the eggs will produce One egg survives and Cora hatches it in her dad s greenhouse he is gardener to Xavien s father only to find it is an unknown dragon which she and Abry research and discover is a supposedly extinct type a nurse dragon Nurse dragons nurtured the dragon eggs produced by the queen and determined what they would hatch into according to the needs of the dragon colony by treating the eggs to various procedures such as heating sprinkling with water and so on These procedures are now done manually in the dragon factory farms one of which is owned by Xavien s father. Ebook cora and the nurse dragonfly I found this a cheerful uplifting story which apart from showing friendship between the girls in particular also featured female aspiration Abry s mother is a lawyer an occupation not easy for a woman to enter given the setting which is vaguely 1920s 1930s few people own cars the amounts of money dragons change hands for are low by today s standards Fairness and honesty are key with Cora even showing kindness to the bully The one thing that is a little bit out of keeping is the crisis near the end which suddenly takes on a gangster vibe So I would rate this at 4 stars 215
