I didn't particularly like this book as it wasn't my style but if you like history and dragons while being sat on the edge of where your reading with the choices he could make then this book is for you

It was fiction. I liked the fact that farthing is a dragon and that they are intelligent creatures. Also I like the fact that there is a story 25 years later.

I didnt like this book that much as it just wasn't that interesting to me, although I do find it exciting in most parts. It has ups and downs, some parts are boring but some parts are astonishing!

Fact and fiction come together. The author did lots of research on Darwin and the Galapagos. I wanted to love it but i didn't.

This is an excellent science, history and adventure story. It is very easy to get into and very exciting. It does have parts that are frightening, but overall it is a heart-warming story and one that I would recommend to ages 8 and above.

This book was very interesting towards the end the start wasn’t that fun to read. It was a very slow book to get into.

I liked this book because Simon survived being on a island and I think he was the best character in the book. I would recommend it to young readers.
