Top Five Children's reads this month:

1. The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire #1) by Tui T. Sutherland. For generations, the seven dragon tribes have been at war, locked in an endless battle over an ancient, lost treasure. Finally, a secret movement called the Talons of Peace is determined to end the fighting with the help of a prophecy -- a foretelling that calls for great sacrifice. Five dragonets are collected to fulfill the prophecy, raised in a hidden cave and enlisted, against their will, to end the terrible war. But not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when the select five escape their underground captors to look for their original homes, what has been unleashed on the dragon world may be far more than the revolutionary planners intended.
