Children will delight in the tales of The Briar Hill Brats by
Jennifer Merrill. Merrill has created a whimsical story of a family
of dragons living in an enchanted town known as Briar Hill. Five
stories make up this endearing book centered around the antics of
nine young dragons-five girls and four boys. In their world,
goblins, owls, turtles and all sorts of fun, fuzzy creatures are
their playmates. Merrill creates colorful and imaginative creatures
that children will identify with and come to know and love. There's
mommy dragon, Ginger, who not only runs a busy household, but is
head of the Dragon Council. Daddy dragon, Snap, works on windmills
and Maurice is an extraordinary goblin that helps out around the
house. Then, there are the nannies that help mommy with the
children. The children, with their varied and special
personalities, are in and out of mischief but always, always are a
family ready to help each other out. Merrill's voice is observant,
sharp and intuitive-containing a childlike wonder-while
incorporating important values about family and how different
people can make up the family unit. Children and parents will
revisit Briar Hill again and again and recognize themselves in
these wonderfully charismatic characters. Jennifer Merrill is a
children's writer and fulltime student. Ms. Merrill is currently
writing the sequel to her book and lives with her family in
Michigan. The Briar Hill Brats is her first published work.
