Dragon Boy
Illustrated by Jocelyn Wild
(Puffin Books)
978-0140346534, RRP £4.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
An orphan boy, John, is adopted by the dragon Montague Bunsen-Burner and his wife - Montague has been told to diet, to keep off the roasted people for a while. In a series of witty adventures John befriends a wolf, solves the dragon's failure to rear eggs, and the dragon daughter takes her flying exams. Great fun, and the separate episodes make this a good read-aloud.
