9Is your son a reluctant reader? Is he a boy who hates reading? If so, the Prince Martin Epic chapter book series is a perfect fit because each book features:

◆ High-stakes action-adventure and danger

◆ Brilliant color illustrations that explode off the page

◆ Text that appears to be prose-but subtly rhymes

This is the trifecta to engage boys! And it's the rhyming verse that gently pulls them along, encouraging them to find the next rhyme-and want to read the whole book.

Parents and grandparents will love the series because each tale contains a moral-without a lecture-that encourages the virtues of bravery, loyalty, grit, and compassion, which are traits boys need to become good men.

In Prince Martin and the Dragons, the Prince and his band of brothers must protect the kingdom from ancient dragons. During their epic quest, the boy discovers the true meaning of loyalty and self-sacrifice, two virtues he'll need to someday become a king.
