Week 5 Title: Dragon Girl Author: Melissa Nichols Source:https://www.bookrix.com/book.html?bookID=anya03_12 98686687.4790201187#1044,522,63252 Summary The story was about a girl who can eventually transform intoa dragon when it’s a full moon day. And one other importantcharacter, her boyfriend who has a special power like her. The storywent like an adventure story with such fun plot and not a happy-ending in the end. My reaction/reflection: I can understand this story quite a bit hard because there aremany hard words that I had never found before and the story itself isso long, so it took a lot more time than the previous story. For myreaction, this story is fun because it is quite like adventure fantasy soboys like me could easily love it. Page 2 of 4
