Billy Bannister and his fellow dragon comrades, Bonnie Silver and Ashley, are thrust into another adventure when they travel to England. They soon are faced with new enemies in the deadly New Table Knights and Morgan Le Faye. Billy and Bonnie enter a new dimension called the Circles of Seven- on account of there being seven circles they will be required to go through- while Ashley, Walter, and the Professor do their best to help them from the outside.In the Circles, things are not always what they seem and danger constantly surrounds Billy and Bonnie. Guided only with the words of Merlin's poems, the courageous duo will face their greatest trials yet.The third installment in the Dragons in Our Midst series takes the story to new heights with increased intensity as it nears the final book, Tears of a Dragon. I love these books, especially because of the Christian values and themes that are hard to find in most fantasy. This series has exceeded all my expectations and is one of my absolute favorites in Christian fantasy.
Deep characters, different dimensions, allegorical worlds...Circles of Seven has it all! When I read the first book in this series, I was a bit skeptical--I mean, what sane person would read about half-dragon children? I soon found out that it would be insane NOT to!In this third installment of the "Dragons in Our Midst" series, Billy Bannister, along with his best friend and fellow anthrozil, Bonnie Silver, embarks on a dangerous journey through the circles to rescue prisoners from the the circles' dark mistress, Morgan Le Faye. What Billy and Bonnie don't realize, however, is the amount of danger that their quest holds for them. When Bonnie is captured by Morgan, things start to go haywire, and Billy is thrust into making a decision that could alter the course of his life forever. This book is impossible to put down!If you enjoyed "Raising Dragons" and "The Candlestone," you won't want to miss this page turner! It's better than the best of Christian fantasy--and it's hard to find a book that good!Highly recommended.
"Circles of Seven" has to be my favourite of the Dragons in Our Midst series. I love the plot twists and all around action and suspense. In this novel, Brian Davis has reached that spot within where his work comes straight from the heart. The choices that Billy had to make really made me think about what I would have done in those circumstances, and the characters showed themselves more vividly than ever. I love Dragons in Our Midst, and I hope that they will be remembered on their bookshelves just as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien's novels have. I have not yet read the last book of this series, but I hope to as soon as I can. I am sure that it will be a great climax to the rest of the series. I think I can say that Dragons in Our Midst sequence has got to be placed in that special space in your bookshelf where everyone can see, so that they don't forget the heartfelt messages portrayed inside the covers.
I didn't actually want to like this story, because I find most Christian fiction to be horribly contrived. But I had been asked to read it to ensure that the donated copies were appropriate for the age level at our school library. By the first chapter of book 1, I was hooked, and by the end of book 2 I had ordered the series for myself...yes, I could have kept reading for free, but it was good enough that I wanted it as part of my home library. I'm a super cheapskate, so that's saying something about how good it is.
Following the story of Billy and Bonnie as they journey on their most dangerous and brutal adventure yet, readers learn of faith in the unseen and are easily sucked into this world the author paints. This book has to be one of the most exciting and edge-of-the-seat thrilling Christian young adult reads. Intertwining dragon lore within a present day world is absolutely fascinating!
Another gift item (we have a large family) for an out of state granddaughter. She was excited to receive it as she had read the previous books in the series and could hardly wait to go on to the next!
My 12 year old daughter loved the entire series. I am reading them and am enjoying the fantasy with biblical values. I wonder how much symbolism is intended, which makes me crazy trying to make it all line up.....but when I just take the story as a fantasy with biblical values I enjoy it. There are many layers to the story line and plot. Well developed characters.
My kids, ages 5, 7, 8, and 10 absolutely love this series. We've been working through this series as our summer read-aloud. I can honestly say I didn't intend to be reading ALL Dragons in our Midst...but when they loved the first so much, I just ran with it. I love when they love something SO much. It's not the easiest series to understand, and has taken quite a bit of discussion and explanation...but all worth it. I find the Christian/faith aspect to be weak, but as THAT is not the reason we were reading it, I haven't been disappointed. They literally beg for "just one more chapter."
