This is about the graphic novel adaptation of The Dragonet Prophecy. You may be looking for the book instead, or for the prophecy itself.
Template:Infobox Book The Dragonet Prophecy (Graphic Novel) is a comic adaptation of the first Wings of Fire book, The Dragonet Prophecy. It is being drawn by Mike Holmes.
Synopsis
Not every dragonet wants a destiny . . .
Clay has grown up under the mountain, chosen along with four other dragonets to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. He's not so sure about the prophecy part, but Clay can't imagine not living with the other dragonets; they're his best friends.
So when one of the dragonets is threatened, all five spring into action. Together, they will choose freedom over fate, leave the mountain, and fulfill their destiny -- on their own terms.
The New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series takes flight in this first graphic novel edition, adapted by the author with art by Mike Holmes.
Notes
On the Wings of Fire Scholastic Website (www.wingsoffire.scholastic.com) Admin Gavin B, the author of the book "Josh Baxter Levels Up", posted a forum page revealing the news at 12:53pm on June 2, 2017. He also posted a special message from Tui Sutherland to all her FanWings. You can find it here:
Hi everyone!
My kids and I are obsessed with comics and graphic novels. We read them together every night—Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, El Deafo, Amulet, and Nimona are some of our favorites. I love how art can add unexpected layers to a story, and how perfect they are for kids like mine: wiggly bookworms who adore great stories, smart dialogue, and lots of visual details.
So when Scholastic asked whether I’d be interested in adapting my Wings of Fire series into graphic novels, I might have gotten a little bit enormously tremendously excited. To see my dragon characters and the world of Pyrrhia appear like this, in pages and pages of full-color art, is just so incredibly cool. There’s the littlest dragonet, Sunny, staring down their ominous visitor, giant Morrowseer! There’s Clay and Tsunami escaping their cave to fly in the open sky for the first time! There’s Queen Scarlet’s arena where dragon prisoners fight to the death! It feels as though all the pictures that have been fluttering around my head since I started writing the series are coming to life.
I can’t wait for the first Wings of Fire graphic novel adaptation, The Dragonet Prophecy, to be out in the world. I hope current readers will love seeing the dragons’ story in a new way, and I hope new readers discover this dragon universe and want to come play in it, too.
Happy flying!
