The Painted Dragon: The Sinclair's Mysteries

This is a fantastic story that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The writing is excellent, the characters are believable, and it's clear that the author did their research. The inclusion of both girl and boy characters makes it appealing to a wide audience. Even though I hadn't read the previous books in the series, I was able to understand the story easily as each book seems to be self-contained. However, reading the entire series would provide more background information.
