Re: CEDRIC- Chapter 1 (MG Fantasy)
That's adorable! I would definitely keep reading.
Re: CEDRIC- Chapter 1 (MG Fantasy)
So far, I think the story is super cute.
The only thing I'm not sure of, is weather or not the average middle grade reader would know what stalactites are. I can't remember how old I was when we learned about that stuff. Other than that, I think the story has a really nice flow.
Good job!

Thanks Ken and Gonzo
I asked my son (he's nine) and he knows what stalactites are. I'll quiz the kids at the bus stop on Monday though. Thanks again.

I know next to nothing of this genre, but I loved this opening. I was disappointed when I came to the end of the excerpt because I'd forgotten it was just an excerpt. lol. Guess I'll just have to wait and buy the book. ;-)

This is charming! I don't know anything about MG, but I would read this to my son.

That was a fun little read. I immediately related to Cedric by flashing back to PE and other middle-school times of fear. I would assume there's "the girl" in the story? How about posting the part where Cedric meets her for the first time? Everything flowed. Nice
My love of fly fishing and surfing connects me to rivers and the ocean. Time with water reminds me to pursue those silly little streams of thought that run rampant in my head.

Re: CEDRIC (MG Fantasy)
Thank you Ryan. Yes, there is a girl, but it's not so much a romantic relationship as it is a very close friendship.

Ahhhh! I like it. Cedric learns to be a dragon from the beings he's supposed to burn, eat and destroy. From the little I've read, I can picture Cedric the Dorky Dragon perfectly.
This could be an easy read series that never really comes to an end:
Cedric the Dorky Dragon Looks for Treasure
Cedric the Dorky Dragon Finally Learns to Fly
Cedric the Dorky Dragon Saves Christmas
Cedric the Dorky Dragon Goes to Outer Space
Cedric the Dorky Dragon Gets Published

Re: CEDRIC (MG Fantasy)
Thanks everyone!
I'm actually writing Cedric as a stand-alone middle-grade novel. But if that doesn't work out I could see adapting it to a chapter book series. Great idea, Ryan.
