Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville
5.0
This was one of my favorite books as a child. It was interesting to revisit it now as an adult and pick up on so many aspects that my memory seems to have filtered out.
Reflecting back, I think the aspects I loved most about this book as a child was the dragon (of course) and it's E.T. mind-melding/telepathic abilities. Although I enjoyed the fantastical parts of the story, I was super pleased to find such complex themes and challenging vocabulary in a chapter book. Overall I'm pleasantly surprised at how well Coville's book holds up, and I'm glad to see that I've always had such great taste in books.
