The Dragons of Ordinary Farm by Tad Williams
3.0
As I hadn't read a Tad Williams book before, I didn't know what to expect from him nor from him writing a children's book (with his wife). The result isn't bad, really.
The writing style and so general feel of the story is, to me, above the style/feel of e.g. the earliest Harry Potter stories or Percy Jacksons, which means the book started off promising. Until suddenly the children were annoying me a bit with their stereotypical bickering. Thankfully, it didn't last for the entire book, and they even managed to work together and show some concern for each other.
Would have given it a 7/10 if I could, with room for growth in the next book.
