I read the book “Day of the Dragon King.” This book is a series of The Magic Tree House. It is a very short and easy fiction novel that everybody can enjoy reading. I love this book because I can read in a short period of time. The story is about a girl and boy who are master librarians trying to get the book from the history. They travel around the space and over time by the magic tree that Morgan made. This time, they went to the early china when the Dragon King lived. They tried to find the book that belongs to the Dragon King. The boy and girl went to the palace of the Dragon King and got the book. After that, they hid to the cemetery of the ancestor of the Dragon King. They got lost in the cemetery so they got help from magic silk which the silk weaver gave it to them. It led to outside. They came back to the Frog Creek where they lived after they got the book. Morgan told them that the silk weaver and the cowherd was the legend that helped them. I noticed that this story is about a legend that describes the Milky Way. This book is an okay book but it is not a good book. The bad part about this book is that it does not have enough conflict in the book. When the book goes to the climax, I always disappoint because I can even predict what is going to happen. Even though it is a short story book, I get bored many times. I think it is good thing for author to make a book little longer. Sometimes, it does not make sense in the book. There were thousands of archers in the palace. The Dragon King told them to kill the boy and girl. How can they not get killed by thousands of arrows? Even though this book is a fiction book, I think they need to be more realistic. The book can be imaginative such as the magic tree makes them to go over times but not getting killed by the arrows doesn’t make sense. Even though there are lots of things to change in this book in order to make better book, I think it is an okay book for people to read and enjoy in short period of their hobby time.
