I absolutely loved this story of a teenage boy overcoming his fears in an unknown world.

Ben Taylor’s story begins at the beginning with book one of The Six Worlds series.

Fairhaven is a small, private school located on a private island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. There, students learn more than the usual courses like math and science. This tuition-free school mandates passing scores in activities such as mountain climbing and swimming.

Ben and Denzel, best friends and roommates, know there’s something different about this school. Certain students at certain times are allowed into the “restricted section” of the school library. Fellow ninth grader, Allison, is allowed into the forbidden area, but refuses to speak of it to the boys.

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. All too soon, Ben learns he has been Chosen. He has no idea what he’s been Chosen for. He has no idea what this means. He never realized his world isn’t the only one, or that it’s being watched over by the Guardian. ( )

Ben the Dragonborn is an enjoyable read suitable for pre-teens and children. Ben Taylor goes to a special school located on an island. He has a fear of swimming and when he is sent to the principal's office to talk about it, finds out that the school is actually a sort of Hogwarts for champions.
He is sent through a portal to the first of six worlds (the rest of the worlds comprise more books in the series). Here he will be tested to find his true identity.
I received this book in a Facebook giveaway. This is a terrific book for kids who like JK Rowling and Rick Riordan. ( )
