I am re-reading this series since I recently bought most of it at a book sale. I remember reading these books during the 6th grade as I read through almost every dragon book at my local library. Anyone remember the animated movie "Flight of Dragons" from the early 80s? The main story is based off this book (with the science-y parts about how dragons fly/breathe fire from the book "Flight of Dragons" by Peter Dickinson). I honestly love the book much more, and I'm really happy to be reading the series again! I have reviewed in the past that I enjoy fantasy or sci-fi that has a link to our world, instead of being thrust into a completely original land I have to figure out on my own.

In this case, we are thrust into a different dimension where dragons are real and can talk, there are English wolves and chivalrous knights. But we are not alone in our confusion in this alternate world, as we follow along with Jim Eckert, a professor of Medieval History from our world, who is hypnotized and his mind is placed into that of the dragon Gorbash. A slightly silly premise, I know, but I love it! We discover along with Jim that his fiancee, Angie (which is my name, so when I was younger this delighted me to no end), has also been transported to this world and kidnapped by the Dark Powers!

It's the usual tale of good vs. evil as the balance of both must be retained, and an adventure where Companions must be found to help Jim rescue Angie. Yet, it's not as cliche as it sounds and a great book I could read over and over again.
