The Fire Within

BOOK NAME: The Fire Within
AUTHOR: Chris D'Lacey

The Fire Within book coverDavid is a tenant living with Liz and her daughter Lucy. Liz makes special dragons out of clay. She makes one for David named Gadzooks, who is a writing dragon.

Lucy asks David to tell her a story and David says maybe. Lucy tells David about two squirrels named Conker and Snigger. Conker has an injured eye so they try to trap him and bring him to the vet. It's almost Lucy's birthday so David writes a story called Snigger and the Nut Beast. On Lucy's birthday David isn't finished so he reads the first couple of chapters in the book and Lucy loves it. David starts to figure out that the clay dragons are real! He pictures Gadzooks in his mind and the dragon writes something on his notebook and it helps David on his book.

Lucy and David catch Conker and bring him to Sophie for help. David and Sophie fall in love, but Sophie tells them that Conker is going to die. Lucy and David are very sad. You have to read the rest because I don't want to give away the whole thing! The next book in the series is IceFire

Greatings Reed and fellow book lovers! I have heard that this book is good, but I've never actually picked it up. It may have been a different book, but I've also heard that this book is kind of grusome/disturbing, but I'm not sure. Can somebody answer this??? thanks:)

sounds like a good book, I think I might read it. until then, goodbye.

I've never picked it up, either, but it sounds really cool. I want one of THOSE dragons!! :)

I've never read this one but I hope it's good cause I have it in my library I'm going to read it!

i have never read fire within and i would love to.

I agree with you, Reed this is a great book. And to answer your question,Bookgal, no, this book is not grusome/disturbing.

I thougt they had it at Katy Budget Books, but when I looked in my favorite section where it would have been, it wasn't there anymore!!! They used to have it!! You know it's bad when everyone in the bookstore knows you by name. Not just you, either. Your whole family! :)

I just requested it from the library! :)

It sounds like a realy good book.I'm going to check it out at my library.:)

This is my little brother's favorite book. He's read the whole series. I think it's kind of a weird book, but that's just my opinion.

oh i read this!! it was soo good. i think i'll reread the series. i think i stopped cuz it started getting a tad depressing. still good books. speaking of good books, OMG Percy Jackson and the Olympians is the best series ever! The last book comes out on cinco de mayo. at least i think it's the last one. *cries* anyway, i can't wait! *salivates*

I didn't read this yet, but I hope that I can because it sounds pretty good. If I had one of those dragons, I would want it to be a homework dragon. So it would do my homework.

Sounds good, I think I'll read it! :-)

i can not wait for the new book dark fire by chris d, lacey.

This book sounds really good. I hope I get a chance to read it.

I sooo want this book! A WHOLE lot.

This sounds like a good book. I might pick it up at the bookstore sometimes.
