I decided to buy this on a whim when I was topping up my cart to get free delivery, but I feared it could not live up to my childhood memories of the series.

I was wrong, this series is still great today, and despite its age, it still has the same allure on kids as it did when I was young: my six year old son loves it.

Looks great, sounds great - definitely worth picking up.

Reason for Reading:  Next in the series.

Once a kids' series like this has reached a certain number of books, it always follows through with an obligatory Hallowe'en story and this is Dragonbreath's Hallowe'en entry.  Breaking form from the other books where they usually travel to meet with one of Danny's relatives to help them with the situation in which they find themselves, this time Danny, Wendell and classmate Christiana go trick or treating and end up with a real ghost on their hands.  Lots of fun!  Wendell meets his match with an even geekier kid than himself in Christiana.  While Wendell's costume is an hydrogen atom, Christiana's is a salmonella bacteria and Christiana talks science using words even Wendell has to look up in a dictionary.  But Christiana has a weakness, her scientific mind leads her to being a skeptic about anything unproven, even the fact that Danny is a dragon!  So ultimately it is Christiana who has the hardest time facing a real ghost.  An enjoyable book, full of everything we've come to expect from Danny Dragonbreath, with a nice combination of text and brief graphic panels.  Fans will be delighted, references are made to adventures from previous books for faithful readers.  While not my favourite in the series certainly up to par with the rest.  Looking forward to the next volume which features one of my favourite cryptids, the jackalope

Excellent for family reading.  My two children (8 yeras old) LOVE it, and I like the character development and insight the characters show.  Having fun and learning new vocabulary and talking about motives and characters.....Very exciting, fast moving series.

My nieces and nephew love this series. Seriously, there is no other gift that they would prefer. Seeing as this was a Christmas gift it was their favorite, which is saying a lot.

When my son brought these books home he did not think his mom would consume the books faster than he did. It was great and still is. I have read this entire series aloud to my family and we have had lively discussions about Cal, Robin and Niko. It has made for great family time and wonderful reading. It is not often that a urban fantasy series is found that can be shared with the whole family.

Even though kids are grown and no longer living at home, this is a Family Favorite that we still watch.

This great family-friendly series brings back great memories from my childhood; I would definitely consider this my favorite TV show of all time! Each episode is full of sweet moments, family life, exciting adventures, beautiful scenery, and much more. The content of these is minimal: it's a very family-friendly series, with only a few episodes with some objectionable content (like the Witches of Avonlea episode in this season).

The storyline centers around Sarah Stanley, who comes to Prince Edward Island when her father is accused of embezzlement to live with relatives in a little town called Avonlea. As she struggles to accept her new life and get along with her strict Aunt Hettie, her stuck-up cousin Felcity King, & tormenting cousin Felix King, Sarah must accept the changes in her young life. But not everything is bad: small town life can be loads of fun, and her new Aunt Olivia is wondeful!

Check out this amazing series produced by Sullivan in Canada, the same company who brought up "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" in the 90's with Megan Follows. Aired in the U.S. under the title "Avonlea" on the Disney Channel, you will enjoy watching these fantastic episodes again and again! My favorite episodes from this season include: "How Kissing Was Discovered,"  "May the Best Man Win," and "It's Just a Stage"...

Season Two contains the following episodes:

1. Sara's Homecoming
2. How Kissing Was Discovered
3. Aunt Hetty's Ordeal
4. Of Corsets and Secrets and True True Love
5. Old Quarrels, Old Love
6. May the Best Man Win
7. Family Rivalry
8. Sea Ghost
9. All That Glitters
10. Dreamer of Dreams
11. It's Just a Stage
12. A Mother's Love
13. Misfits and Miracles

Do not start with this book, start with book one.  Buy the collection and everyone in the family can enjoy them.

This series was recommended to us years ago by my wife's older sister, who has 8 daughters (we have 5). We're just finally getting around to it with our youngest two (8 and 10), and are urging it on the older ones as well! Truly delightful, a classic!

An excellent series that my kids love. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because not all discs have the Spanish/French track (and since in our home we are primary spanish speaking my kids lose interest in the more dialog heavy episodes that do not have the Spanish track).

This is a great series for kids. We read it as a family. There are a total of 40 books though.

As with all the Ranger's Apprentice books, this is a family favorite.  Our family has read the entire series and abaolutely love them.  It was almost sad when these adventures came to an end. We'll miss Will.

A new kid on the block (staying in Dink's house!), a little action (a kidnap!), a little language lesson (French!), and a lot of teamwork  (involving both children, parents, and authority figures) leads to another  intriguing tale and a happy ending.  Ron Roy's A-To-Z-Mysteries have proven  quite successful in our household.  I've now read all eleven installments  to my four-year-old son, and he has found them immensely entertaining.  Similarly, our best friend's daughter, an advanced elementary school  reader, promptly consumed these books and deemed them enjoyable.  Sure,  like most of the chapter book series for little people, the plots tend to  be marginally predictable -- conversely, these books weren't written for  the parents (and the children seem to find the mysteries sufficiently  compelling).  I also find that, at a certain level, the fact that the  characters in these mysteries are (reasonably) normal children confronting  seemingly pedestrian criminals is a welcome break from my son's fascination  with the preternatural and his preference for the less realistic (but  highly entertaining) series such as the Secrets of Droon, Bailey School  Kids, and the Magic Tree House.  Also, unlike many of the series books, it  does not seem critical to read the books in order (although we do).  It's  also nice that the protagonists -- Dink, Ruth Rose, and Josh -- play well  together, think through difficult problems, exhibit good manners and, for  the most part, display the type of vocabulary you won't mind if your  children repeat.
