If your students love action, adventure, and magic, consider adding the exciting Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland to your classroom library. Filled with enchanting, action-packed plots and memorable characters, these books will become a favorite for students in grades 5-8.

Available in both long-form and graphic novel formats, the Wings of Fire books appeal to avid and striving readers alike. The ongoing, riveting storylines help sharpen reading comprehension, vocabulary, world building, and critical thinking skills — and promote the study of character development. 

In the first book, Wings of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy, readers are introduced to seven dragon clans who have been at war for generations over lost treasure. A secret movement called the Talons of Peace attempts to restore harmony among the clans, with the help of a mysterious prophecy, but it will take a major sacrifice to make that dream a reality. 

The second novel, Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir, follows Tsunami and her fellow dragonets as they finally make their way home to the SeaWing Kingdom. But things don’t go off without a hitch: While her mother Queen Coral welcomes her home with open arms, Tsunami learns that there are assassins targeting her.

The saga continues with exciting titles, like The Dark Secret and Legends: Dragonslayer, as well as newer stories, such as the recent installment Wings of Fire: The Flames of Hope. Further engage your students with the graphic novel adaptations of the series!

From providing edge-of-your-seat adventures to exploring relatable family dynamics, the Wings of Fire series will grab and hold your students’ attention.
