Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott

5.0

As Jaxon’s mom has to go to court, the young boy has to stay with a grandmother he never heard of. But the old woman isn’t who he expects. She is in fact a witch. And she is hiding three baby dragons in a tin box in her bag. Of course there are rules : Do not let them out of the bag, and whatever happens, do not feed them, especially anything sweet.

I loved Dragons in a Bag so much ! It is an adorable middle grade novel, full of magical creatures and genuine, courageous diverse characters. Jaxon is a colorful character, a young boy who discovers that magic is real and wishes to become Ma’s apprentice, an old witch who protects out of our realms creatures. 

Zetta Elliott created a very imaginative and exciting urban fantasy novel, the first book of the Dragons in a Bag series. I really can’t wait to read the rest !
