Featured book o' the week

The Boy Who Grew Dragons is a series that was written for middlegrade readers but author Andy Shepherd wanted to introduce its characters, and its dragons, to a younger audience and she's done so with a special Christmas story!

​

Thomas, Lolli and their dragons all love Christmas. The problem with this is that they also have a love of getting into trouble, or should that be a habit? The dragons that is, I'm sure you knew that though! On Christmas Eve a brand-new Snow Dragon hatches and brings with her a snow flurry, covering their garden. Now they have a winter wonderland. That's wonderful but with all the snow she's brought they are now snowed in which means they're stuck. This is a big problem... They have presents to deliver...

​

Can Thomas, Lolli, the dragons and of course, Grandad, work together, spread the magic and save Christmas? An utterly delightful celebration of friendships, dragons, Christmas mischief and love.
