I just read this book by Chris D'lacey. This book is the fifth book of the series of dragons, if I didn't do the other ones its because i read them a long time ago. The name of the book is Dark Fire. The story is about a human family from a generation of dragons that creates Clay Dragons each with a job. The family is the Pennykettle family with a tenant which has a girlfriend and a 5 year old girl. The Pennykettles are Elizabeth P., Lucy P., David Rain, Suzanna Martindale, Alexa Martindale. If Alexa is name Martindale instead of Rain is because David dissapeard before the birth of Alexa but he came back five years later with a special training with the fain. They are the people of the dragons, there is to kind of fains the good and the bad. David got trained by the good fains to be a dragon messenger named G'lant, which Alexa dreamed about a lot.
The message of the book is that if people that are close to you, they are stil in your heart because David left Zanna and Lexie many Times in the book.
I have a connection to the book, since Its a book of dragons, I like dragons, I've always wanted one to help me and in the book they help threw the pennykettle house.
Hope this book interests you and you will read the whole series.
