I liked it. It is about a werewolf who is Oscar’s father. Oscar is the Dragon Master of Wildroot, a Flower Dragon. Oscar didn’t know the werewolf was his father until the Wildroot used his bloom. Wildroot used his bloom to make the werewolf human again. The Dragon Masters helped Wildroot. I liked this story because I like plants.
