Beyond the Book: Heroes of Havensong: Dragonboy Extension Activities!

 

Have you finished reading Heroes of Havensong: Dragonboy? Looking for ways to extend the fun?? Well, I’m glad you’re here! In this article I’ve put together some fun activities to complete once you’re finished (or while you are reading) Dragonboy by Megan Reyes.

 

Don’t forget! You can access our Reading Guide Discussion Questions here. These questions were written by author Megan Reyes herself  and are a great way to start some conversations!

 

There is also an OwlBabble interview with Sally and Megan saved to our Instagram Reels page! Click here to watch!

 

About our monthly pick:

Heroes of Havensong: Dragonboy is an absorbing fantasy story full of wonderful world development and excellent characters. Inside the pages, you’ll meet four feisty characters:

• Blue: Orphaned as a young boy in the kingdom of Gerbera, Blue has worked his way up being a stable boy at the Palace and is hoping to land the job as lead Stable Hand. But fates intervene and his life takes a dramatic turn when the King of Gerbera dies and the fates select Blue to be next!
• Wren lives on the island of Meraki whose people are bounded with magic and are the protectors of the great dragons. Grieving the sudden loss of her mother, Wren finds she has little tolerance for the “way things have been” and is seen as an outsider within her community.
• Shenli is a child soldier on the mainland living out a 17-year sentence of servitude to the evil Chancellor Cudek. The Chancellor has taught the people of the mainland to hate magic and hunt down the dragons, their riders, and those who practice magic. He finds his loyalties torn between wanting to free his family from Cudek's grasp and following his sense of what is right.
• River is a resident of Dragon Mountain — the small group of magic holding people on the mainland who are responsible for the continuing the species of dragons. She loves Herbology and her plants and desperately wants to become Lead Harvester. But like Blue, her life path takes a dramatic turn …

All four characters must band together as they each play an important role in stopping the next great war from coming to Haven.
