Dragon's Tear

Young boy, new home far from the city, no friends, younger brother popular and sporty, mother continually angry, father always busy. Cam's life is grey, unhappy and isolated until he discovers (or is he chosen by?) a dragon. The fierce reality of the dragon, the fantastic colours of the precious stones that make up the nest for its precious egg and the long perspective of the dragon's life, now reduced in this modern world to scarce places to exist, bring the book to life. The dragon's cave is threatened by new development, Dracofir has to search for a new home but needs someone to guard the egg. Cam has been chosen to help and he has to grow into the role and finally become heroic. With the often vivid and exciting writing of the dragon sections, Lawson, like Cam, moves into a new dimension.
