Ember Spark and the Thunder of Dragons

A magical NEW story filled with adventure, wonder and edge-of-your-seat excitement, set in a world of daring dragons and magical maladies by the best-selling author of Sky Song, Abi Elphinstone . . .

Ember Spark, looking for adventure, is his newest recruit and with her new friend Arno, is quickly sent to help a baby dragon who has been parted from his parents – but keeping difficult magical creatures a secret is not an easy task, especially with arch-villain, Jasper Hornswoggle, on their tail to derail them…
