Ruby and the Dragon

Ruby didn't want to be the dragon in the school play but, as the costume fitted perfectly and she had the loudest voice, Miss Williams thought she should. Once inside the costume, Ruby warms to her role and puts on a star performance for the opening night, even though she gets lost and doesn't keep to the script. A school story told in strip cartoon style, although there are several spreads where captions are also provided. These tend to disrupt the pace and continuity of the story as the reader is unsure whether the captions or the pictures should be read first. Nevertheless, many junior will be suitably entertained.
