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.
Cat's corner by Cecilia K. Hoffman
Cat’s Corner is a heartwarming and suspenseful small-town drama that follows Cat O’Brien, a determined single mother returning to her rural hometown of Harrington to rebuild her life and open a beauty salon. Fleeing a troubled past and hoping to offer her son Jeff a fresh start, Cat inherits her late aunt’s rundown salon and renames it “Cat’s Corner.” As she renovates the business and reconnects with old acquaintances—including a former flame and a dangerously obsessed admirer—Cat faces gossip, rekindled feelings, and hidden secrets. With humor, love, and a touch of danger, Cat’s Corner is a poignant tale of redemption, second chances, and finding strength in starting over.

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!”
