The Dragon's Tooth


Cyrus Smith lives in a rundown motel along with his sister, Antigone, and his older brother, Daniel. It is a pretty boring place, the Archer Motel, until an unexpected guest shows up.

The man is called Skelton. The first thing Cyrus notices about him is that he is strange. He has a skeleton tattoo covering as much of his skin as Cyrus can see, and he requests a specific room- Cyrus's room. 


Within a day of Skelton's arrival, the Archer Motel is in a state of turmoil, and Daniel has gone missing. Skelton, near death, asks Cyrus and Antigone to recite a strange oath, and then passes on a couple of his belongings to them. 


A few hours later, Cyrus and Antigone find themselves in a place known as Ashtown. They are scared and are worried about their brother. Together, they must find a way to save their brother, and get back home. However, the evils of Ashtown may keep the siblings from reuniting anytime soon. 


If you are looking for an action packed fantasy fiction, The Dragon's Tooth is it. This is one of those books that will keep you up half the night because it is so good. I like how the author does not spend too much time describing(we all hate those books that waste five pages describing the leaves on a tree), but jumps right into the action within the first 30 pages. You do not want to miss out on this, it is a great read for people of all ages.
