Blurb:
Gork isn't
like the other dragons at WarWings Military Academy. He has a gigantic heart,
two-inch horns, and an occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak
Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious--the lowest in his class.
But Gork is determined not to let any of this hold him back as he embarks on
the most important mission of his life: tonight, on the eve of his high school
graduation, he must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says yes,
they'll go off to conquer a foreign planet together. If she says no, Gork
becomes a slave.
Vying with
Jocks, Nerds, Mutants, and Multi-Dimensioners to find his mate, Gork encounters
an unforgettable cast of friends and foes, including Dr. Terrible, the mad
scientist; Fribby, a robot dragon obsessed with death; and Metheldra, a healer
specializing in acupuncture with swords. But finally it is Gork's biggest
perceived weakness, his huge heart, that will guide him through his epic quest
and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet Earth.
My review:
Gork, the
Teenage Dragon by Gabe Hudson is a quirky, tongue in cheek, sometimes angsty,
all around good read. Our hero, Gork, isn’t much like the other dragons at his
school. He is weaker, his horns are smaller, and his heart is way too big. He
is a really fast flyer and it has kept him alive this long.
I enjoyed
this fun story. It brought me back to high school and feeling the misfit. There
is a terrific set of supporting characters who round out this tale. I recommend
for anyone trying to get their tweener – teen son to read.
