Inviting readers 6-8 to join the Chapter Chasers Book Club! This month, we're reading Llama Quest: Danger in the Dragons' Den by Megan Reyes
About this Event

Join the Chapter Chasers for our next book adventure! We invite kids ages 6-8 to chat about our early chapter book pick, have some fun reading aloud, then get creative with a related activity! In 2026, Chapter Chasers will meet quarterly so look out for the next meeting on April 26.

Join us this month in discussing Llama Quest: Danger in the Dragons' Den by Megan Reyes.

In this hidden gem early chapter book series, we start our quest with a talking purple llama to protect the Kingdom of Ravenwood! Join eight-year-old Dak as he's swept into a magical adventure to protect the people and creatures of their kingdom—including dragons!

Chapter Chasers Book Club is made for emerging readers (6-8) chasing the thrill of reading their first chapter books! We encourage both independent reading and family read-alouds for Chapter Chasers. The goal of this book club is to get kids excited about books and reading, to encourage their self-identity as readers, and to foster community and social learning through a love of books!

Parents are welcome to stay on the Junior side and participate or browse the adult side. Parents of children 12 and younger must remain on-site.

Mention the book club at the shop or order online and note “book club” to get 10% off!

By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct.


About the Book


Start your quest with a talking purple llama and protect the Kingdom of Ravenwood! Join eight-year-old Dak as he's swept into a magical adventure to protect the people and creatures of their kingdom—including dragons!

Eight-year-old Dak spends his days scooping llama poop and dreaming of adventure. Then he meets Fenn, the mysterious girl who lives next to his family’s farm, and Lucy, a llama…who wears a scarf? And talks? And turns PURPLE?!

Suddenly Dak is on a magical whirlwind adventure! Turns out Lucy is the keeper of the magical stones that protect the people of Ravenwood —and a thief has tried to steal them. Now they're scattered across the kingdom! The good news? Lucy has found the Fire Stone. The bad news? A family of dragons found it first and they won’t give it up easily. Can Dak, Fenn, and Lucy get the Fire Stone back? 

They’ll encounter magical creatures, a sneaky thief, and tricky magic, but when Dak, Fenn, and Lucy work together, nothing can beat Team Llama Quest! 

Join Team Llama Quest on all four of their adventures!
