REVIEW - Peanut Goes to School (Elder Races #6.7) by Thea Harrison

The Book
Release Date: 30 June 2014
Goodreads Link

This is a short story (15,100 words or 55 pages) intended for readers of the Elder Races who enjoy Liam Cuelebre, aka Peanut, as a character. 

Dragos Cuelebre is no longer the only dragon.

Dragos’s son Liam Cuelebre (a.k.a. Peanut) is springing into existence, reminiscent of the first of the Elder Races who were born at the beginning of the world. At just six months of age, he has already grown to the size of a large five-year-old boy. He can read, write in complete sentences, and his math skills are off the chart.

A white dragon in his Wyr form, Liam also holds more Power than almost anyone else. In an effort to give him a taste of normality, no matter how fleeting, his parents Pia and Dragos enroll him in first grade.

They hope school will help teach Liam how to relate to others, a vital skill that will help him control his growing Power. But school has a surprising number of pitfalls, and relating to others can be a tricky business.

When a classmate is threatened, Liam must quickly learn self-control, how to rein in his instincts, and govern his temper, because there’s no doubt about it—he is fast becoming one of the most dangerous creatures in all of the Elder Races.

My Review  4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is such a sweet little short story that focuses on Liam, the son of Pia and Dragos and the events that happen around his first day of school.

Liam is a little boy who at six months old is as big as a 4-5 year old, has brains much older than his years and is learning how to cope around children his own age.  He learns that not everyone likes him and how he has to navigate around bullies and someone that he quite likes.

We still get to see more of Pia and Dragos as they help him with his feelings and to navigate the world around him and shower him with love and support.

I really enjoyed this story.
