A
book overflowing with scrumptious chocolate and marvelous characters with an
ingenious twist at the end, this book has everything!
The Dragon With A Chocolate Heart is an incredible book about an
adventurous young dragon called Aventurine who decides to journey out of the
safety of her cave to prove herself to her family.
Disaster
soon strikes when a dragon’s most dangerous prey, a human uses an enchanted hot
chocolate to transform her into a human girl. Now Aventurine must survive in
unfamiliar territory, a human village.
The
things that really brought this book together were the indescribably
well-developed characters and the vivid descriptions of heavenly chocolate.
Another wonderful aspect of the book was how the world of humans is viewed
through a dragons eyes, which gave me a whole new outlook on life and also
allowed for amusing descriptions such as hair being called ‘head fur’.
The
best part of the book though, is the carefully planned and awesome twist at the
end of the novel, made even better by the subtle hints throughout the story. I
have absolutely no criticism for this book, and I thought it was an absolute
delight to read!
