Apollo reviewed Dungeons and Dragons : Dungeon Academy: No Humans Allowed! by Tim Probert (Dungeon Academy, #1)
A fun adventure and gateway to D&D
3 stars
A while back my daughter and I found a copy of Dungeon Academy: Tourney of Terror, the second book in the Dungeon Academy series, in a little library by a local playground. She insisted on bringing it home. Some of the first books I read to her were the 123s of D&D and ABCs of D&D. She also loves a D&D pop-up book, D&D miniatures, and monsters of every type. She's been on the path for embracing D&D from the start. I loved D&D most of my life and have tried to pass that on.

It's exactly the kind of book I would have been head over heels for when I was 9 or 10 but I suspect it can be a good fit for reading to someone younger.
I'll probably read the book to her before long and I hope she'll enjoy reading it herself when she is ready.
