This book is not disappointing us. We have had opportunities to imagine what it would be like if we lived on the same island as the main characters. Some of us were concerned that the boys had never seen a smart phone! We have thought about the different characters we have heard about but are yet to meet and have considered why we have our own opinions about them even though we have only met them through the thoughts of our main characters.
This book also has an interactive component to it. When we got to page 51, there was a coded message that they boys had found but none of us knew how to decipher it. Here is the message, what do you think it says?
Exactly! We had no idea other than it was probably written by someone who calls themselves 'The Pitbull.' We came up with a lot of ideas of what it could be though. Then we used an app on Mrs Taylor's phone, AR reads. When Dylan put the camera over the page the code changed into a special message. Check out what Dylan deciphered.
Cool huh ?! We know it is quite hard to see the video but we know you get the idea. Well we are super excited now. We knew that dragons were involved somehow by the title but this is the first mention of them in the story. I wonder what else we will need to use the app for?
What book are you reading at the moment? What are you enjoying about it? Should it be one of the choices for our next shared book?
Okay, so I've read all four Dragon Defenders books when I was a yr6. I not giving any particular hints, but you will need the app for many more things/hints throughout the book/s (if you are going to read the others). Book two is called 'The Pitbull Returns', book three is 'An Unfamiliar Place', book four is 'All Is Lost'. The biggest hints are in the titles, so I would suggest reading them all:)
