Two books from the Dragons in a Bag series by Zetta Elliott.
Dragons in a Bag
By Zetta Elliott
This book was recommended for young readers who loved magic, plus it is written by a woman of color, whoop whoop!
The book is about a boy named Jax and how he is learning about the realm of magic where there are dragons and witches. When Jax helps to take care of three baby dragons and one gets lost, craziness ensues. I read the book to my two oldest and they both liked it very much. When I learned there was a sequel, I picked it up fast.

The Dragon Thief
By Zeta Elliott
This was the sequel to Dragons in a Bag. The picks up from where the first book leaves off. This novel is told from Jax and the dragon thief's perspective. (I don't want to give anything away so I won't say too much)!
This book ups the magic but falls a bit short on plot compared with the first book. I'm still glad we read it, but it's definitely not as good. It took the kids a while to read this one because they kept wanting to read other things instead.
"I like the mouse that talked. I liked the magic in the fairy named Jeff. Ma's mind was wide awake but she was in sleep mode." ---Mikey
"Jeff is a fairy. Jeff got turned into a guy named Blue's tattoo. And also Trub helped Jax. Ma was in the sleep world, Jax thought she was just asleep but she wasn't but no she wasn't." --Lily
