Dragonfriend Leonard the Great Book 1 Roger Eschbacher 9781453628485 Books

DRAGONFRIEND is a feisty, fresh take on turning a lowly page into a full-blown hero. Leonard is a decidedly square peg in a time when knights and warriors were completely concerned with being round, as in being invited to sit at the Round Table. Less concerned about being somebody and more about doing the right thing, Eschbacher's hero radiates warmth and sincerity. As a fan of the more whimsical takes on King Arthur and his court, I loved this book. It moves at a swift pace and really puts the romp back into fantasy adventure while eschewing the pomp so often cluttering up medieval lit. I especially liked Leonard's interactions with the dragons and the delightful Piffle whose chutzpah will charm your socks off. I eagerly await the next volume of this fine, upstanding series. Way to go, Roger!

Roger has penned a winner here. Dragonfriend moves along quickly, with plenty of action and well developed characters. The story is one of perseverance in the face of danger. Roger brings this adventure alive, painting vivid pictures in one's mind; this story would make a great screenplay. Looking forward to the next in the series.
We are very proud to announce that Dragonfriend by Roger Eschbacher is a 2012 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree. This tells a reader that this book is well worth your time and money!
Delivered as expected. Satisfied. A very good read. Excellent story teller.
Although not a big fan of this kind of literature, this book was suggested to me and I immediately fell in love with it. Roger Eschbacher spins a brilliant tale and it's the kind of book you don't want to put down. As the father of three young boys, I can't wait until they are old enough for me to read this amazing story to them.

What's this you say, it's a YA book so not for me? Well think again folks. This little gem (the first book in the Leonard the Great series) is written so well that it's darn hard to put down. Why? Easy, Eschbacher's writing style magically & effortlessly takes you away to this far away land. Each character is believable & in many cases very lovable. It's clever, fun, exciting & keeps its' innocence without being too sweet for the older reader. If you want a book that makes you long or the next one & )especially in my case) encourages you to buy it for your nephew (son, daughter, niece...), then this is your book. Go on.... I dare you Not to fall in love with this wonderful writers story.
What a fun read! Camelot is no longer just about King Arthur his knights and Merlin. There is a new hero in town. Leonard is a bright young boy who who ends up on a quest full of adventure, humor, a little gore and just a touch of romance. He is mature in a lot of respects but there are several instances (funny and sad) that remind us that he is just a kid. From fairies to the creatures from the underworld, the array of mythical beasts is great. I grew attach to Leonard and can't wait for the next book. Though this is a juvenile book that would attract both boys and girls, I highly recommend it for us big kids.
Dragonfriend is a vastly appealing and entertaining adventure story that offers a clever, imaginative and frequently hilarious take on the age of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table legends. I have been a fan of Roger Eschbacher since the 90's after seeing his work as a writer, actor and performer with the legendary LA improv comedy troupe, The Groundlings. He was a gifted and standout writer then, demonstrating a keen intellect, subtle wit and an uncanny skill of drawing humor out of the everyman everyday trials and tribulations most in the audience could recognize, relate to and laugh about. Mr. Eschbacher has clearly used the skills he honed in live theatre and television to make a seamless transition to fiction, crafting a tightly woven tale with lots of unexpected twists and turns and introducing us to another of his everyman characters, Leonard, a young man of humble beginnings but great promise and an incredible knack for running into people, dragons and other creatures who often don't share his interest in self preservation. A wonderfully fun and imaginative book that is perfect for kids and adults.
