Darek can?t wait for his first Dragon Quest. Then he can be just like his older brother, Clep, the hero who brought down a Great Blue, the largest and fiercest dragon of all. Darek goes to admire the kill - and finds a dragonling peeking out of the giant dragon?s pouch. Scared but curious, he feeds the hungry baby and makes an unlikely friend. But to save the helpless dragonling he must now venture into the fearsome Valley of the Dragons!
2. A Dragon in the Family

Ever since Darek saved Zantor the dragonling, they?ve been inseparable. Darek is the only family Zantor has ever known. But now Darek is bringing Zantor home from the Valley of the Dragons. The villagers are up in arms! Darek and his brother Clep are called traitors. Their best friends are turning against them. Even Darek?s father has been threatened for allowing the dragon in the village. How can Darek prove that dragons are good when the village has turned against them all?
3. Dragon Quest
(ISBN
0-671-00193-0)
Now that the villagers have finally accepted Darek's dragonling, Zantor, they've all fallen in love with him. Especially Rowena, the spoiled daughter of the Chief Elder - so much that she wants a dragon of her very own. But Darek can't give him up, so the Chief Elder orders Darek's father to capture another dragonling, even though such a Dragon Quest could mean death for dragons and villagers alike. Darek can't let that happen. But how can he stop it... unless he joins the Dragon Quest.
4. Dragons of Krad
(ISBN
0-671-00194-9)
When Darek's beloved dragonling, Zantor, and his best friend, Pola, disappear into the mists of Krad, they are given up for dead. But Darek knows Zantor and Pola are alive. He can hear the dragonling's cries for help, deep inside his own head. And much to his surprise, Rowena - the cause of all the trouble - hears them, too. Together they sneak into Krad to rescue their friends. But soon they find that Krad is even more dangerous than they'd feared. So dangerous that it may be impossible to save anyone, even themselves...
5. Dragon Trouble
(ISBN
0-671-01399-8)
Darek and his friends Rowena and Pola
- plus
three dragonlings
- have returned from Krad alive! Darek's mother
is overjoyed, thinking the three have been rescued by their fathers, who
followed the children across the Black Mountains of Krad. She's wrong, though.
Darek and his friends escaped on their own - they think. The strange thing
is, they don't remember anything about Krad....at first. With the help of
Zantor, Darek soon regains some of his memory - enough to know his father
is in terrible danger. Darek has to rescue him, even though it means going
back to Krad....and risking his own life all over again.
6. Dragons
and Kings (ISBN
0-671-01400-5)
Darek and his friends Rowena and Pola,
and their fathers have all returned from the Mountains of Krad, miraculously
alive! But to their dismay, they soon discover that their village is now
ruled by Zarnak, a power-hungry tyrant who quickly imprisons the fathers.
Even worse, he blackmails Darek and his friends into leading an invasion
of Krad! Zarnak may be getting more "help" than he bargained for, though.
The funny little Zynots and Azzon, onetime king of Krad, emerge from the
mists to join Darek, his friends, and their dragons. Soon all are engaged
in a fantastic struggle that will change their entire
world....forever!
