Best Dragon Trilogy by Cecilia K. Hoffman
A Magical Prize. A Dragon’s Promise. The Adventure of a Lifetime.
When Tobin Ranger opens a box of Magic Wonder Flakes cereal, he discovers a golden ticket—one that promises a “Ticket to Adventure.” Skeptical but curious, he dials the number on the back… and is swept into a world beyond his wildest dreams.
A dragon named Quinton arrives at Tobin’s door, whisking him away to the Fourth Realm, a land of trolls, ogres, and floating castles. But this kingdom is in trouble: the ogre king has seized power, the true ruler is imprisoned, and the brave Princess Melody faces a forced marriage. With Quinton’s help—and a little dragon magic—Tobin must outwit greedy trolls, evade a sinister tax collector, and rally an army of giants, fairies, and even friendly ogres to restore peace.
Seeking The Royal Treasure by Cecilia K. Hoffman
The worst thing that can happen to a dragon is having its wings clipped. The ogre king kidnapped Quinton and took him into the mountains almost two weeks ago. Nickola the giant is sent to Tobin’s house to request help. When they return to the kingdom, they discover that Princess Melody has also been kidnapped, and the real king had forgotten where he put the Royal Treasure. Together, Tobin and Quinton brainstorm ideas to help Quinton fly again, save the princess and find the Royal Treasure. Tobin is taken to places in the kingdom that he has never been. He also meets many residents of the kingdom, good and bad: giants, other dragons, fairies, wood nymphs, ogres, trolis and elves. The trilogy Best Dragon continues. One after another, wild adventures lead them to the Royal Treasure. Seeking the Royal Treasure is an imaginative and fun tale for readers, old and young, to enjoy
Appointing a new king
When Tobin’s nemesis, The Tax Collector, appears at his door dressed in jeans and wanting to see his mother, he is horrified! He knows something is very wrong in the kingdom. A short time later Quinton appears in his bedroom and says the kingdom is in trouble. The old king has passed away, and they need a new king
First, the other Tobin starts typing into his computer again and the adventure continues.
The kingdom is facing several threats from all over. The worst one is that the Ogre King has sent for Velart, a black Whipper Snapper dragon, who is the evilest dragon there is. Right after Tobin and Quinton arrive Quinton sustains a head injury which leaves him with amnesia. The biggest problem is that the Dragon’s Best Contests is coming soon, and he has to practice for it, but he can’t remember how and he is afraid of everything! Tobin is left to figure out what to do.
in spite of all this a new king is finally chosen and the Coronation is a grand event in which all of the folks in the kingdom rejoices.

What the Readers Are Saying?
Fantasy Fan Approval
“Hoffman’s world-building is delightful—a fresh twist on classic fantasy with a modern, witty voice. Tobin’s journey from skeptical kid to unlikely hero feels genuine, and Quinton steals every scene. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves dragons, clever plots, or stories where the underdog wins!”
Parent & Educator Praise
“My 10-year-old couldn’t put this down! Tobin’s adventure is packed with humor, heart, and just the right amount of dragon-fueled chaos. As a teacher, I loved how the story cleverly weaves problem-solving and bravery into a fantastical world. The perfect bridge between early chapter books and epic fantasy!”
Kid Reviewer Excitement
“I wish Magic Wonder Flakes were REAL so I could go on an adventure like Tobin! Quinton the dragon is hilarious (especially when he eats baking powder—trust me, it’s awesome), and the trolls are so tricky. My favorite part? When Tobin outsmarts the bad guys by doing the opposite of what they expect. 5/5 stars!”
