All of which is hidden in a fantastic tale that keeps kids engaged throughout the entire adventure. It’s a lasting story of love for a friend, of dealing with nasty teachers, of taking responsibility. Even my husband remembers reading it as a kid, and he’s no reader. I think JEREMY THATCHER is probably the most famous book in this series. ![]() From the hatching scene in Eragon to the looking for dragon books in the Hogwarts library, these were scenes I always compared to the similar ones in JEREMY THATCHER, DRAGON HATCHER. ![]() As I got older and read more dragon books, this was always the one they got compared to. I remember sitting in my elementary school listening to my teacher read to me about a boy and his dragon. This was my very first introduction to the Magic Shop series, and indeed Bruce Coville’s books as a whole. Buying what he thinks is a marble, he discovers he has really purchased a dragon’s egg. ![]() He enters, and his life is changed forever. Sixth-grader Jeremy Thatcher discovers a strange magic shop he has never seen before.
