2. Dragonkeeper 19th July The slave girl feels guilty for taking the dragon's food so when she goes down to feed the dragon the next day. She goes down with Hua her pet rat to feed the dragon with the yellow eye’s. He grab the food and put it back down and then roars while he does the slave girl covers Hua’s ears. After Master Lan comes to see her then Lan sees the dead dragon so he gets ready to defend himself. After he gets him out he sees the the dragon is faking it.

3. Dragonkeeper 20th July In the book I found out that the dragon was dead. Know they are cooking it, before Master Lan put I knife in the dragon and purple blood oozed out of the dragon. The slave girl felt sick. Then she had to get some ingredients for this some kind of stew. While they were doing that all the dragons from the pit were howling and the wild animals joined in. I don’t like Master Lan why can’t he be nice to her once and a while?

4. Dragonkeeper 21st July The slave girl is taking care of the dragon better than the last 1. She tries to feed its but the dragon is only eating little bits. But after Hua the rat is biting on a chicken leg, she thinks what about meat she grabs her chicken and goes down to the pit. Then she gives it to the dragon but he is not eating but the next morning the bowl is empty. Next she cleans the pit but when she gets to the corner there is this purple rock with white stuff I don’t know how to describe it. Now in her head a voice says to her don’t touch it or something like that. This story reminds me of the movie Cinderella when she is a slave.

5. Dragonkeeper 22nd July The slave girl has the dragon outside. The dragon’s covers its eyes few minutes later he gets used o the sunlight. Master Lan calls the slave girl she says to the dragon you can stay out here. She goes to Master Lan before her comes to find her. Master Lan he wants wine but he finished it all so he asked for her to got more wine from this shop. But she is not allowed to go there then Master Lan says to the slave girl “I give you permission” but still NO!!! She could die for going into the palace.

It has been 20 years since he last watched he tour-de-France he has gone throw 10 years of near misses. Cadel Evans

7. Our hero Cadel Evans Dear Cadel Evans How do you feel about being the winner of the Tour-de-France. I know if I was you I would be the most excited person in Australia . You are the first Australian to win the Tour-de-France. How long did you ride the bike for From EmilyPoon 

8. Dragonkeeper 26thJuly The slave girl went to the palace and while she was going she thought about what she had done like her night visits to the palace. The person who was in there was a god who was one step away from being a god. He probably knows all about her night visits . I like the slave girl because she keeps on going when the going get tough.

9. Dragonkeeper 29th July The slave girl is in the palace and she is running away!! She comes into the kitchen and a lot of servants who were putting in food. She has not seen as many plates of food In her life. She got pushed ect then she got out of the kitchen and into the hall way. After the sound of that large gong was getting closer. There was two doors one led to the kitchen and the other was a room with a servant who was sweeping. The gong got closer the slave girl had one only thing to do she hid behind a thing that I forgot the name of.

10. Dragonkeeper 2nd August The slave girl ran as quick as she could to the courtyard to take the dragon. The slave girl pushed , shoved and heaved but the dragon wouldn't move. In her mind a voice whispered to protect the stone. It was that dragon stone that I read before this part of the book. The people from the palace came and they tried to kill the dragon but the girl shouted “Stop leave it alone” well something like that. Sho ran to the stone and she grabbed it and ran. But the guard court up to her. His grip was so tight he could break her bone.

11. Dragonkeeper 3rd August The dragon nearly got chained but before they could the girl ran with the stone. As well the dragon followed and pushed the guards away so he could get through. The dragon soars off and after the dragon comes and swoops her off her feet. She felt something sharp go into her back through but the dragon doesn’t actually stab her. When she got up she felt sick. She told the dragon she wants to get down. The dragon let her down with Hua the rat in her pocket thing . When she got down she her nose was on the ground. She thought she squashed Hua but when she peered into her pocket and Hua was there.

12. Dragonkeeper 4thAugust The dragon started to wobble mean while the dragon went off into the cold breeze. The slave girl had no choice but to follow it. Finally the dragon found a cave for all of them to sleep. After when the girl woke up she found she was sleeping In this nest. With mushrooms and grass and all of the things you need well something like that.

13. Dragonkeeper The slave girl has a voice In her mind that said “fire need fire”. So she did light a fire. She cooked the mushrooms and two birds then she gave them to the dragon. But the slave girl had the mushrooms. After, there was that voice again that said “what is your name”. Then she said “I don’t have one.”

14. Dragonkeeper 8th August The slave girl finds out what her name is by the dragon. Her name is Ping and her name means Duckweed. Later she says to the dragon I want to go home. So she goes on the dragon back holding his horns . She was scared to fall off the dragon so he said to hold on the horns. Then the dragon said to get the stone. When they take off she starts to get used to it.

17. Dragonkeeper 9th August Ping is in the air and the dragon is taking Ping back home. Later they fall down I don’t now where I think they crash into the mountain. Ping can’t hear the dragon in her mind. Ping goes to the dragon she was happy to see the chest moving. Then the dragon says to her the stone. I think the stone is what the dragons need to survive. Ping thinks it broke when they crashed.

18. Dragonkeeper 10th August Ping finds the stone and it is in one piece. Then she says to herself “it is going to be days till I get home.” then I don’t get the rest of it. I like this story because it is interesting to read. At the start is was a bit boring but now it is fun to read.

19. Dragonkeeper 11th August They hear this thumping noise with this sort of hard grain. Ping goes closer and asks if Danzi is coming. As they get closer there is two ways on led to the Huangling and the other led to the east. I would like the whole class to read this book. And some timethis year. Well if I finish it.

20. Dragonkeeper15th August Ping and the dragon are hiding behind a rock. Later some guards and the commander there. The guards are complaining about like there is no food. They are trying to find Ping and the dragon. I want to read more of this authors books. Maybe the next book of this one

21. Dragonkeeper 17th August Ping wanted to go home then she over heard a conversation with he guards about trying to find her. As well Master Lan blamed Ping on killing all the imperial dragons. The dragon tells Ping that can she come to the ocean with him or her I don’t know. Then the dragon all the good things about the ocean. Where you could have everything you ever wanted. I think Ping is going to go to the ocean with the dragon but they have to walk. The dragon all ready told me that they would have to walk there.

22. Dragonkeeper 18th August They talk about the dragon stone. Then they talk about what is the dragon afraid of then I find out the dragon is afraid of iron weapons. WAIT FOR IT WAIT FOR IT he is afraid of a centipede!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? They crawl into ear, find way to brain and eat brain. :P I wonder what is going to happen next. I can’t wait till tomorrow!

24. Dragonkeeper 19th August Pig meets this old man but she doesn’t see the dragon she thinks that he hid when he saw the old man. After Ping come across a farmer and the farmer said “ what are you doing here we don’t get much visits from other people.” Then Ping said quickly said “ coming to see family” the voice in her mind told her to say that. The old man put his hand on Ping’s arm and talon came out. The farmer asks if they want to stay the voice said yes. So when they get to the farmers house they go in the room with just Ping and the old man. Suddenly the old man transformed onto the dragon then she knew it was the dragon. Then she complains to the dragon about why he didn’t tell her that he was that old man.

25. Dragonkeeper 22nd August Ping is in this house with a family, Danzi the dragon and Hua the rat. The son of the family gave Ping some leather shoes and a cloths. Then the dragon tries to kill Hua only for doing something to the dragon stone. After that they leave and go, they find a nice warm place to stay. Then Ping asks how did the other dragon die, she thought that she didn’t feed it well. And that was not the reason she died of misery. Then Danzi told Ping that there was two dosen dragon.
