I read the first five Wings of Fire books (written by Tui T. Sutherland) to my kids aloud this year. I have three kids, and mostly I am reading the books for the older boys (aged 5 and 7 at the time of writing this post), though my daughter (aged 2) is usually in the room.
I donât mind if she is bouncing around while we read, as I think it is good in general for her to hear the books even if she isnât really obviously paying attention.

For context, I generally read more advanced/mature books out loud to my kids. I try to challenge them with books a lot, instead of assuming that they canât understand more complex language or adult language wonât hold their interest. In the past 12 months, here are a few examples of the books Iâve read to to my boys:

I also admit to ruthlessly editing the language or some words when I think it makes sense. While I think the complex language is important for my kidsâ ever expanding vocabulary, there are just some words that I am not ready for them to be using.
I will also admit to editing or simplifying text that is mature/heavy (such as part of the book that deal with death, violence, blood). I felt the need to do this a bit when I read Holes (by Louis Sacher) recently to my kids . Not that I donât think they are capable of understanding the topic, but because my younger son tends to get distracted from the story by the bad stuff. And a lynch mob wasnât something I was prepared to explain three minutes before bedtime.
I also set aside books that are important for them to read, but I think that they can wait, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and also Huckleberry Finn.

If you arenât familiar with this series, here is a quick summary of the premise:
Throughout the books (13 so far as of writing this post), the Dragonets of Destiny (as they are called in the books) travel from land to land, trying to find their parents, and trying to figure out exactly what they are supposed to do to end the war.
The language in these books is not overly complex or difficult to follow. Children aged 4+ will be able to follow it fine.
It was during these scenes that I felt it was appropriate to either skip or heavily edit the writing. I donât mind reading to the kids about fighting, or even death. Death is something we all have to work through and face, so I donât try and hide it from the kids.
But for younger children (under age 9-10) I thought the killing scenes were a bit much for my taste.
Other reason for discontinuing the series? Honestly, I got a little bored myself reading the book to the kids. Each book was just a bit more of the same of what we had read before. While this might have been fine for the kids, my attention was just not as captured.
To summarize, I think that the Wings of Fire books are great to read with younger kids, so long as you are aware of the fighting/violence the text contains. The violence/blood is why I recommend that kids be a little bit older before they are given the books to read independently, perhaps in the 9-10 age range.
Also, if you have any questions about reading these books to younger kids, please leave them in the comments. Iâd be happy to answer if I can.

Wings of fire is written by APJ Abdul kalam and Arun tiwari. Wings of fire is an autobiography of APJ Abdul kalam covering his early life and his work in Indian space research and missile programs .It is the story if a boy from a humble background who went on to beacame a key player on Idian space research and later he became the president of India. The book has been very popular India as well as all over the world . It was very engaging initially but tended to drag a bit towards the end with a lot of technical details and information of space researchresearch and missile project.
I loved the initial chapter of “wings of fire” Since it gives a great pictures of our country during 1930-1950 . Kalam sir was born in Ramasweram. The initial chapter provide a great glimpse of religious harmony that existed during the partition of India. In younger year, kalam wanted to be an officer of air force , however he couldn’t clear the interview. Then, he met Swami sivananda after this failure and I found the words very interesting as well as prophetic.
In the book I learnt how kalam started his career in Aeronautical development establishement and also involved in designing of the hovercraft. Later ,he moved to Indian space research which ws the brain child Vikram sarabhai . In 1963 kalam went to NASA facility in USA ( Maryland) as part if a training program of rocket launching techniques. There he came across a painting which depicts Tipu sultan rocket warfare against British.
The book covers lot of ‘Behind the scenes’ information and technical details about missile program and Indian satellitesatellite, ( SLV – 3, prithvi, agni, Akash, thrishul, nag etc. ) Space and missile program are a huge project and managi g them is extremely challenge. The book does give a clear glimpse of the participatory management technique adopted by APJ Abdul kalam. But it had not be explained in the book.
Wings of fire covers klaam sir personal life only briefly which is strange fir an autobiography . Kalam sir is a poet and I am a huge fan of his poetry. The book contain many of his poem and some of the words and phrases get attached with my heart.
Through wings of fire, I had seen many great personality Vikram sarabhai and Dr. Brahm prakash . The book also contain almost 23 photos. While seeing that photo and kalam’s poetry I fell to be very proud and I wanted kalam sir be live.
One of the thing that stands through out the book is kalam’s positive thinking. He held many high rankings in various organization . The secret to his success seems to his ability to ignore negative things around him. The book also gives the popularity of India .
“APJ Abdul kalam was simple , secular inspiring humanitarian”

Our fantasy loving bookworm has long been a fan of Tui T. Sutherland’s Wings of Fire books series , collecting each book on its release date – including lining up in the freezing cold at a bookshop on Boxing Day one year! Then there was the time she dressed up as the dragon named Swordtail for our school’s Book Week character parade.
The fantasy fiction Wings of Fire series has developed a cult following across the world, popular with middle grade through to adult readers alike. And it is no wonder thanks to Sutherland’s extraordinary, detailed storytelling and the wonderful cast of fanciful dragons she has imagined.
There are currently fourteen books within the main series, within three storylines or story arcs of five books each. These titles are supported by a compilation of short stories, a number of Legends titles and a series of graphic novel interpretations of the original series.
From the very first book readers are introduced to the seven dragon tribes of Pyrrhia â SandWings, MudWings, SkyWings, SeaWings, IceWings, RainWings and NightWings (and later three new tribes – LeafWings, SilkWings and HiveWings).
Each tribe inhabits a different territory within Pyrrhia and the dragons of each tribe share unique strengths and magical powers, as well as exhibiting human-like behaviour, making them super relatable for middle school readers.
The tribes don’t always get along however – these are stories of war as the tribes fight each other for power and control of Pyrrhia – and Sutherland does not shy away from sometimes violent and difficult themes, with storylines exploring difficult topics such as war, murder, deceit and racism to name just a few (which makes the series compelling reading but also potentially challenging for sensitive readers).
And, despite the fantasy genre, the series explores important real life issues relating to family, friendship and identity, with important life themes of courage, loyalty, destiny and sacrifice.
The main series of books explore three story arcs, with five books within each arc. The first is The Dragonet Prophecy in which five young dragons from different tribes are being raised in secret as those destined in an ancient prophecy to end the war that rages between the tribes of Pyrrhia.
The second story arc, The Jade Mountain Prophecy, sees the dragons at peace (at least for now) and intent on establishing an academy to train the next generation of dragons to live and work together. However peace and the academy are in danger as a new prophecy is shared by Nightwing, Moonwatcher, warning of the destruction of Jade Mountain if an ancient city cannot be re-found.
In the third story arc, The Lost Continent Prophecy, the dragons of Pyrrhia learn that they are not the only dragons in existence, discovering the neighboring dragon tribes of Pantala across the sea, who live under the (mind) control of an evil dragon, the Queen Wasp.
The series is certainly one for lovers of action, adventure and fantasy. I would suggest they will be most enjoyable for reasonably confident readers from 10 years of age, possibly 9 years if you child is okay with violence and other sensitive content (see above).
The first story arc (books 1-5): the dragonet prophecy.
The lost princess of the Seawings is going home at last! Tsunami cant believe that sheâs finally going home to the kingdom of the sea. But Tsunamiâs return home doesnât go quite as planed.
Queen Coral and the Seawings welcome her with open wings but a mysterious assassin is killing off the Queen’s dragonets one by one, and Tsunami is the next target. The dragonets of destiny came to the Seawings for protection but the ocean hides secrets and betrayal, and no one is safe.

Deep in the rainforest, danger awaits. The dragonets think they might be able to find safety in the rainforest because the Rainwings arenât at war. But something deadly is stalking the peaceful kingdom and when dragons start mysteriously disappearing from the rainforest and the queens wont do anything about it, Glory makes it her mission to save the tribe.
But what will she do when her search leads her right into the kidnappers claws?
Nightwings keep everything secret – from their home and their queen to their allegiance in the war. Now Starflight is finally getting to meet his own tribe, will they be everything he dreamed of?
The Nightwing home is a treacherous place, and the tribe is willing to do anything to leave it, even if that means killing innocent dragons. And now Starflight is faced with an impossible choice – save the Rainwings or help his tribe. What will he do?
Sunny has always believed in the dragonet prophecy. But after Morrowseer reveals the truth and with friends so willing to give up, Sunny starts wonderingâ is it even possible to end the war?
While Sunny might not be ready to give just yet, buried secrets, deadly surprises, and an unexpected side too scavengers are all waiting for her in the shifting sands of the desert and one question looms over them allâ who will have the power of wings of fire?

Peril worries that she may accidentally hurt the bumbling Turtle, after all her magical yet dangerous firescales have given her the reputation of the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia, but it is in the process of confronting the Scarlet, that Peril is faced with an impossible choice – the chance to rid herself of her firescales, the powers that have caused her so much pain, for the chance of a new life. What will she choose?
Turtle isnât one of the heroes you read about in stories. If it was up to him he would happily hand over the job as hero to a dragon like Winter or Moon.
But when a long-lost villain called Darkstalker rises from the dead, Turtle realises the sinister dragon hasn’t changed and the Jade Mountain Academy is going to need a hero.
And Turtle might just have to be that hero and save the day himself!
Qibli has always dreamed of being special. And he knows he could stop Darkstalkerâ if only he had magic!
With even a sliver of the dragon’s magical scroll he could rewrite history. But after the animus-touched object is ripped out of his claws, he realises that the only way he can stop Darkstalker is to use his brain.
Now, with time running out and Darkstalker entrancing or killing every dragon in the seven tribes, it’s up to Qibli to stop him – with or without magic.

But when a mysterious prophecy is revealed, Snowfall discovers that the real threat isn’t the dragons but a dangerous force, more evil than anything the inhabitants of Pyrrhia have faced before.
But saving a continent isnât as easy as a prophecy makes it sound, and facing a great evil definitely requires more than the fiery silk that Luna is uniquely able to create. As she fights her way to the abyss that hides the dark roots poisoning Pantala, Luna must uncover a long-buried secret and unite her friends, her enemies, and her own powers. If she doesnât, she wonât get to change the world, instead sheâll have to say goodbye to it forever.

The dragonet prophecy â “wings of fire” series.
The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland has been reviewed by Focus on the Familyâs marriage and parenting magazine . It is the first book in the “Wings of Fire” series.
In this book, the characters are dragons, and a war rages between the dragon tribes in the land of Pyrrhia. According to prophecy, the bloodshed will only cease when five remarkable dragonets, young dragons, are born and trained to stop the fighting.
A group of dragons called the Talons of Peace seeks to fulfill the prophecy by collecting five special eggs, born on the brightest night. The dragonets must come from the tribes of the SeaWings, NightWings, SkyWings, MudWings and SandWings. But one of the warring queens purposely breaks the SkyWing egg, causing the dragonet caretakers to make a last minute change of plans. Though it is outside the prophecy, they quickly substitute a RainWing egg.
The story picks up six years later and is told through the eyes of a dragonet named Clay. He and his friends, Tsunami, Sunny, Starflight and Glory (the RainWing dragonet) live beneath a mountain. They are under the care and training of the Talons of Peace supporters, dragons named Kestrel, Dune and Webs. When the dragonets decide to escape from the cave where they live, they and their guardians are captured by Scarlet, the fierce SkyWing queen. Scarlet makes her prisoners battle in an arena. She pits them against her champion, a dragon named Peril, whose mere touch sets others ablaze. Despite their strained circumstances, Peril and Clay become friends.
The dragonets make several thwarted escape attempts. Scarlet puts Kestrel on trial, and Peril discovers Kestrel is her mother. Burn, one of the hopefuls to be queen of the SandWings, visits Scarlet. When they learn Scarlet plans to give Sunny to Burn as a gift, the dragonets are all the more anxious to escape. Queen Scarlet puts on an elaborate show for her guests by pitting some of the dragonets against one another in the arena. When the excitement doesn’t satisfy her, she puts Clay and Peril together to fight. They battle, trying to figure out how not to kill each other. At a critical moment, Glory attacks Scarlet with her powerful poison. The dragonets, with Peril’s help, make their escape. They invite Peril to join them, but she feels she has work to do on herself before she can be the dragon of her destiny.
Clay and Glory choose to search for Clay’s parents. They find his mother, a disinterested dragon that had sold her egg because she didn’t need it. Though Clay is disappointed that his mother doesn’t care to know him, he is pleased to meet his siblings. Clay comes to realize that to fulfill his destiny, he must be himself, take care of his friends and find a way to fulfill the prophesy.
Other belief systems.
Different types of dragons have special powers. NightWings, for example, can read minds, see the future and deliver prophesies. When the dragonets try to escape from Kestrel, they wonder if they need a magic word, talisman or the aid of an animus dragon. Animus dragons were supposed to have power over objects. Dragons in the stadium think the arrival of the dragonets is an omen. Everything the dragonets are taught about the outside world comes from Talons of Peace scrolls. Clay prays hard, meaning he’s trying to communicate telepathically into the minds of other MudWings.
Queen Scarlet and Burn both demonstrate violence and cruelty toward their underlings, taking pleasure in observing bloody battles between their prisoners. Kestrel raises the dragonets without love or kindness. She behaves with ambivalence even when she learns Peril is her daughter. Clay’s birth mother admits to having sold his egg and says she doesn’t know who fathered him. She shows no love for or even interest in him when he appears at her door.
The word heck appears once.
Heads of prey bounce across the grass. Blood spurts and pours out of headless bodies. Dragons lash at each other with their claws, tearing and ripping into each others’ flesh and wings and gouging into open scars. Chilling cracks are often heard as dragons break each others’ necks or bones. Peril scorches, melts and scars others, leaving disfiguring burns. Glory’s poison disintegrates other dragons; the poison eats into their open wounds. Bloody, rotting dragon corpses litter the ground after several battles. Dragons and dragon eggs are often pushed or dropped from high places to kill them.
Queen Scarlet punishes a SeaWing dragon that refuses to fight, making it go without water for months. The slow dehydration leaves the dragon desperate, mentally unstable and ready for battle.
Clay’s mother tells him she doesn’t know who fathered him. She says their tribe has a breeding night once a month. Then everyone returns to his or her own sleeping quarters.

I first started using a Kindle when I moved abroad. Though nothing could ever replace the feel and smell of a paperback novel, buying a compact e-reader felt like the perfect solution at the time. Not only did it allow me to travel without lugging around heavy books, but it gave me access to Amazonâs Kindle Store (and all the English language books I was missing from back home).
Fast forward 10-plus years later and youâll still find me commuting to the office today with a Kindle Paperwhite in my backpack. I miss holding an actual book in my hands, but I love being able to start a new book with the click of a button even more (trust me, it comes in handy when you realize you forgot to pack a book for vacation and there's no store in sight).
Though my Paperwhite is my go-to, the Kindle Scribeâs launch in 2022 caught my attention. Not only is the Scribe a much larger Kindle than the ones Iâm most familiar with, but unlike other models, it has a pen-to-paper feature that enables you to take notes, draw doodles and more. And, of course, you still have access to your e-book library and the Kindle Store.
Display size | 10.2â |
---|---|
Storage | 16, 32 or 64 GB |
Resolution | 300 ppi |
Battery life | Around 12 weeks based on usage and settings |
Dimensions | 7.7â x 9.0" x .22â |
Weight | 0.95 lbs |
The Kindle Scribe is an e-reader slash smart notebook. Though itâs similarly sized to a tablet, youâre not able to download apps, play games or send messages like you would on an iPad. Instead, youâll have access to the Amazon Kindle Store, where you can sample and download a variety of novels and reading content.
What sets the Scribe apart from other Kindles, however, is the ânotebooksâ feature. This allows you to create notebooks from a range of templates, including ruled paper, blank paper, graph paper, planners, checklists and more, and take notes on a paper-like screen with a compatible pen.
The Kindle Scribe is the largest Kindle on the market, featuring a 10.2-inch glare-free display and a battery-free pen that doesnât require recharging. It retails for just over $230, making it the priciest yet most feature-rich Kindle on the market (for comparison, the Kindle Paperwhite 16GB costs $150).
When making your purchase, you can choose between the âbasic penâ or the âpremium pen,â the main difference being that the premium pen has a built-in eraser at its tip and a shortcut button that you can customize (for instance, mine is a highlighter). If you prefer the premium pen, you can expect to pay around $25 more.
Next, youâll need to choose between 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of storage. Most users will find that 16 GB is plenty of storage, but if you plan on building an extensive library of books and documents you can opt for even more.
When making your purchase, youâll also be prompted to choose whether to sign up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription that gives unlimited access to select digital titles, audiobooks, magazine subscriptions and more. The first three months are free, but after that, itâll renew for $11.99 per month. If this doesnât sound like something youâre interested in, you can simply select purchase âwithout Kindle Unlimited.â
Just keep in mind that if youâd like to use your Scribe with a case or cover, youâll have to purchase one separately. The proprietary Amazon Kindle case is a bit pricey at around $60, but you can find third-party options for cheaper (closer to the $20 to $30 range).
According to Amazon, the Kindle Scribe can last up to 12 weeks on a single charge, which is longer than other Kindles like the Paperwhite, which maxes out at 10 weeks. Just note that this number is a rough estimate based on half an hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 13, or a lower light setting. If you plan on using a notebook and writing, battery life will be reduced. Amazon claims that a single charge lasts up to 3 weeks with half-hour periods of writing per day (again, with wireless off and light settings at 13).
When compared to most of the latest tablets, battery life is impressive. Personally, I feel like I never have to charge my Kindle. Even if I forget about it and donât use it for several weeks, it always seems to be alive when I'm ready to use it. It requires much less charging than most of my other devices, which is super helpful when traveling or on the go since it's one less thing I have to think about.
Thereâs a lot to like about the Kindle Scribe. Not only does it boast the largest screen of all Kindles, but itâs also the brightest. Plus, reading on a glare-free display is pretty similar to reading from an actual book, and thatâs a blessing when youâre trying to read on the beach or at a park on a super bright, sunny day. I also love being able to manipulate brightness settings when Iâm trying to finish up a chapter in bed so I can avoid waking up my partner with my night lamp.
Because Iâm obsessed with taking handwritten notes, I appreciate the Scribe's note-taking features. The digital notebook does an excellent job of replicating the real deal of that pen-to-paper feel. The premium pen is both comfortable and easy to hold in my hand, and writing with it is actually kind of fun. Yes, my handwriting is just as messy as it always was, but fortunately, the eraser is easy to access. Plus, you can convert your handwritten notes to text when sharing them via email.
Performance on the Kindle Scribe isn't zippy like on most tablets. In fact, it can feel kind of slow if you're trying to quickly navigate among pages or go from your book to notebook. It's also black and white e-ink only, meaning you won't be able to highlight in yellow or use pens in any other color.
The biggest drawback of the Kindle Scribe, for me, is its size. If you plan on using it frequently to take notes, the size may actually be perfect since itâs similar to that of a paper notebook. But if you plan on using your Scribe to commute to work or read in bed, it may not be as comfortable to hold as you were expecting. Though I appreciate the larger screen when reading and not having to flip pages quite as frequently, I miss being able to easily hold my Kindle with one hand like I can with the Paperwhite. Itâs definitely worth noting that the Scribe doesnât fit into a coat pocket or a small purse, which is possible with smaller Kindles.
I also wish that you could underline text or write in the margins while reading a book. Though you can leave handwritten sticky notes on pages that are easily accessible from the top menu navigation bar, thereâs just something about scribbling within a book that feels more intuitive.
Last but not least, the Kindle Scribe doesnât have a listed IP rating, meaning that it hasnât been tested to be waterproof. I wonât lie, the IPX8 rating on my other Kindle is one of my favorite features as someone who likes to frequently read from pools or bathtubs. Knowing that itâs waterproof means I donât have to worry about it falling in, whereas youâd be wise to be more careful with the Scribe.
Yes and no. The answer depends on what exactly youâre looking for. If having an e-reader with notetaking capabilities sounds like the dream, then the Kindle Scribe is for you. It comes at a price thatâs more affordable than other smart notebooks like the ReMarkable 2 , though it doesnât offer quite as many features either.
If you're mainly looking for an e-reader, I'd opt for a smaller Kindle like the Kindle Paperwhite or the even more affordable and compact Kindle . But if you want a little bit of everything and would rather have all your notes, books, apps, games, etc. in one place, a tablet like the Amazon Fire Max 11 , a Good Housekeeping Family Travel Awards winner could be the better choice.

Airlines, hospitals and peopleâs computers were affected after CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity company, sent out a flawed software update.
By Adam Satariano Paul Mozur Kate Conger and Sheera Frenkel
Airlines grounded flights. Operators of 911 lines could not respond to emergencies. Hospitals canceled surgeries. Retailers closed for the day. And the actions all traced back to a batch of bad computer code.
A flawed software update sent out by a little-known cybersecurity company caused chaos and disruption around the world on Friday. The company, CrowdStrike , based in Austin, Texas, makes software used by multinational corporations, government agencies and scores of other organizations to protect against hackers and online intruders.
But when CrowdStrike sent its update on Thursday to its customers that run Microsoft Windows software, computers began to crash.
The fallout, which was immediate and inescapable, highlighted the brittleness of global technology infrastructure. The world has become reliant on Microsoft and a handful of cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike. So when a single flawed piece of software is released over the internet, it can almost instantly damage countless companies and organizations that depend on the technology as part of everyday business.
âThis is a very, very uncomfortable illustration of the fragility of the worldâs core internet infrastructure,â said Ciaran Martin, the former chief executive of Britainâs National Cyber Security Center and a professor at the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University.
A cyberattack did not cause the widespread outage, but the effects on Friday showed how devastating the damage can be when a main artery of the global technology system is disrupted. It raised broader questions about CrowdStrikeâs testing processes and what repercussions such software firms should face when flaws in their code cause major disruptions.
Hereâs a visual explanation for how a faulty software update crippled machines.
