If what hooked you in Rise of the Earth Dragon was Drake learning from Master Griffith—step by step—how to understand Worm and unlock his earth-magic, you’ll love how Zoey learns from her mom to observe, test, and gently help a baby dragon. It has that same caring, mentor–apprentice feel, with hands-on problem‑solving and a magical creature depending on a kid’s patience and heart.

You enjoyed Drake being taken to the king’s castle, meeting other dragon trainees like Rori and Ana, and jumping into lessons with Master Griffith. In The New Kid at School, Wiglaf arrives at Dragon Slayers’ Academy and has to survive classes, drills, and first missions—same "new kid at a special school" energy, but with laugh‑out‑loud twists and plenty of dragon-related action.

If the highlight for you was Drake’s bond with Worm—the dragon stone choosing him, the quiet moments in the dragon cave, and the thrill of discovering Worm’s earth‑moving powers—then Hiccup’s awkward, funny, and heartfelt journey training Toothless will hit the spot. Like Drake, Hiccup learns that understanding your dragon’s quirks is the real magic.

You sped through how Drake goes from farm boy to dragon master, then uses what he’s learned with Worm to pull off a timely rescue at the castle. My Father’s Dragon delivers that same brisk rhythm: a kid sets out, thinks fast, and cleverly saves a dragon in a tight spot—simple, snappy chapters you can’t stop turning.

If you liked how Drake, Ana, and Rori quickly become a supportive team—and how helping Worm brings out everyone’s best—The Creature of the Pines offers that same optimistic vibe. Elliot and Uchenna befriend a mythical creature and work together (with a quirky mentor’s help) to keep it safe, keeping the stakes gentle and the heart big.
