160 pages! That’s the magic number for 'Dragon Games.' It’s one of those books where the length perfectly matches its tone—quick, fun, and packed with enough twists to feel like a full adventure. I adore how the series never talks down to its audience, and this installment’s dragon-training subplot had me weirdly invested. The paperback’s got a nice weight to it, too—not too flimsy, not a doorstop. Just right for tossing into a tote bag before a road trip.
I’ve got a soft spot for middle-grade novels, and 'Ever After High: Dragon Games' was a fun little detour. The paperback version I own clocks in at 160 pages—light enough to toss in a backpack but packed with enough drama to feel satisfying. What I love about these books is how they balance fairy-tale tropes with modern humor. Like, who knew dragon racing could have so much political intrigue between the princesses? The page count might seem slim, but the world-building is surprisingly dense for a junior novel. Also, the font size is super readable, which matters when you’re recommending books to kids who might be hesitant readers.
Ever after high has this quirky charm that makes me grin whenever I pick up one of their books. 'dragon Games: The Junior Novel' is no exception—I remember flipping through it last summer, totally absorbed by the dragon races and Raven’s sarcastic one-liners. From what I recall, the page count lands around 160 pages, but what stuck with me more was how fast-paced it felt. The chapters flew by like those dragons mid-race, and before I knew it, I was at the end, wishing there were more. It’s the kind of book you finish in one lazy afternoon, still smelling like sunscreen from reading outside.
Honestly, the length was perfect for the story—enough to build tension between the characters (Apple and Raven’s rivalry never gets old) but short enough to keep younger readers hooked. The illustrations sprinkled throughout added this playful touch too. Now I kinda want to reread it just for that scene where Maddie wears a dragon-shaped hat.
Counting pages feels a bit clinical for a book as vibrant as this one, but hey, I checked my copy: 160 pages of pure, glittery chaos. 'Dragon Games' leans hard into the competitive spirit of Ever After High, and the length mirrors that energy—short, snappy, and designed to keep you turning pages. I blew through it in two sittings, mostly because the dialogue crackles with wit (shout-out to Lizzie Hearts’ dramatic interjections). The physical book itself is light, with matte-finish chapter headings that give it this cozy feel. For fans of the franchise, it’s a must-read; for newcomers, it’s a breezy intro to the madness. Also, pro tip: the dragon race scenes read even better with dramatic background music.

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death.
Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger.
Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred.

What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.

I picked up 'Princess Academy' by Shannon Hale a few years ago, and it quickly became one of those books I couldn’t put down. The edition I have is the 2005 hardcover, which clocks in at 336 pages. It’s a middle-grade novel, but honestly, the storytelling is so rich that it appeals to all ages. The way Hale weaves Miri’s journey from a timid mountain girl to a confident leader is just magical. The pacing feels perfect—never dragging, but letting you savor every moment. I love how the chapters flow, making it easy to read 'just one more' until suddenly, you’ve finished the whole thing.
If you’re curious about other editions, the paperback runs about the same length, though some printings might vary by a few pages due to formatting. What really stands out isn’t just the page count, though—it’s how every page feels essential. Even the quieter moments, like Miri’s conversations with her sister or her struggles with self-doubt, add layers to the story. It’s one of those books where you close the last page and immediately wish there was more.
