Dragon Masters驯龙大师是一套虚构类的章回小说，作者是Tracey West。Tracey为孩子们写了许多书，Dragon Masters这一系列书是她的代表作。她常常想着自己会与一条怎样的龙成为朋友，便创作了主人公Drake，让他带着自己与龙为友的愿望出现在书中。

孩子进入小学中高年级后，基本具备独立阅读章节书的水平。这时候，图片已经不再需要展现全部的文字含义，只是提供一些“线索”，辅助阅读，让孩子慢慢丢掉“拐杖”，实现自主阅读。这套书适合小学中高年级（4-6年级）孩子。

中高年级孩子非常喜欢的魔幻主题，加上极富幻想的人物角色设定，给孩子打开一个奇幻的超现实世界。引人入胜的情节，每一页上都有精彩生动的插画，让刚步入文字书的孩子更加沉浸在阅读中。如果你家孩子非常喜欢魔幻、探险主题，强烈推荐这套。

Dragon Masters这套书主要介绍的是在神秘的罗兰国王（King Roland）统治的遥远国度，有四位正在接受培训的神龙斗士，两个男孩，两个女孩，他们各自的坐骑都是性格各异的神龙。要成为真正的神龙斗士需要经过学习和一系列的考验，不仅要挑战自己局限，还要对抗外来的黑魔法。一个关于成长，神龙，魔法，友情，中世纪风情的系列故事。

小学阶段的孩子没兴趣读绘本，但还不能读懂文字很多的书，怎么办？Branches 解决的就是这个问题。学乐出版社的Branches 系列是小学生们真正能自己读下来的英文“桥梁书”！

Branches系列在美国非常畅销，很多国际学校孩子也在读，它实实在在提供了一个“桥梁”，用这些有趣但语言简单的故事，带孩子逐步从习惯于“读图”过渡到能够自由去“读字”。Branches系列特别为6-12岁孩子设计，它的作用，就是帮孩子从读一些图画书过渡到能自主阅读长篇文字书。寓意孩子在这个系列的帮助下，从“小树枝”慢慢成长为“大树”。

特蕾西·韦斯特（Tracey West）已为儿童和青少年写了300多本书，其中包括《纽约时报》最畅销的《龙大师》系列，《小精灵技巧》系列和《希罗的探索》系列。她还以《神奇宝贝》一章的改编作品出现在《纽约时报》的畅销书排行榜上。特蕾西（Tracey）和她的家人住在纽约州西部的卡茨基尔斯（Catskills）。
