About the book

I would describe this book as enjoyable and fun but it can also get tense at times like when They met Queen Scarlet. I would definitely recommend people to read this book and the rest of the series. (If this isn't what you wanted, here) Wings of Fire the Dragonet Prophecy is about 5 dragonets bound to save the world from a war between 3 queens who Blister, Blaze, and Burn. Raised under the mountain within the Claws of the Clouds Mountains.

The Dragonet Prophecy questions by chapter

We know the book, its characters, setting and story, but not what happens in each chapter. So every question is written for this book, and any of them works wherever your reader has just stopped. One question per chapter, across all 35 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.

  1. Chapter 1

    What have you learned so far about the five dragonets and why they are being raised together? Explain which detail seems most important.

  4. Chapter 4

    Which dragonet would you choose as a companion in Pyrrhia right now? Explain what makes that dragon a good choice.

    Example answer: I would choose Clay as my companion because he cares about his friends. He thinks about their safety, not just his own. I would want someone who would help me when things became scary. His caring nature matters more to me than being the strongest dragon.

  5. Chapter 5

    Choose an unfamiliar word from the chapter you just read. What do you think it means, and which nearby words or details helped you?

    How does the place where the dragonets are living affect what they can do or learn? Use details you have read so far.

    What is your opinion of how the adults responsible for the dragonets treat them so far? Explain what you think the adults should keep doing or change.

    What does the word "dragonet" help you understand about the main characters? Explain how their age affects their situation.

    What have you learned about the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia so far? Describe one detail that helps you tell tribes apart.

  13. Chapter 13

    What is your impression of Glory at this point? Explain how a detail about her helped you form that impression.

    How might being part of a prophecy affect the way the dragonets see themselves? Connect your idea to something you have read.

  15. Chapter 15

    If Clay faces a difficult choice soon, what do you predict will matter most to him? Explain your reasoning.

  17. Chapter 17

    Find a word or phrase in your latest chapter that helps create its mood. Explain what feeling it gives the scene and why.

  18. Chapter 18

    What strength do you notice in Sunny so far? Explain how that strength could help the group.

    Example answer: I think Sunny's strength is her hopeful attitude. She is cheerful even though the dragonets have a difficult life. I think her hope could encourage the others when they feel upset or stuck. Being hopeful does not solve every problem, but it can help a group keep trying.

  19. Chapter 19

    What is one goal the dragonets have at this point, and what is helping or blocking their progress toward it?

  20. Chapter 20

    How do characters decide whom to trust in the story so far? Explain what their choices suggest about trust.

    Explain the word "prophecy" in your own words. How does its meaning help you understand the expectations placed on the dragonets?

  24. Chapter 24

    What have you noticed about the way Starflight thinks or solves problems? Explain how his approach could help or challenge the group.

  25. Chapter 25

    Choose an action by one of the dragonets from your reading so far. What caused that action, and what happened because of it?

  26. Chapter 26

    How has the story shown that courage can take different forms? Use a dragonet's behavior to explain your idea.

    Example answer: I think courage is more than being ready to fight. Tsunami shows courage by speaking up instead of quietly accepting what she dislikes. Clay's concern for his friends makes me think that protecting someone can also be brave. These dragonets help me see that courage can come from different feelings and strengths.

  35. Chapter 35
