From award-winning author Polly Ho-Yen, comes a beautifully illustrated story for readers aged 7+.
Entrusted with the care of the last dragon egg, Yara discovers it is more powerful than she could ever have imagined, but how far will she go to keep it safe?
Yara has only glimpsed the last dragon on Earth twice. She’s got other things to worry about: her sister is in hospital, her parents are panicking, and her new teacher has labelled her a troublemaker and wants her out. But one evening, in the glow of the lights of the shopping centre in Milton Keynes, Yara finds herself being watched by the last dragon and, before it departs, it leaves her a gift: its only egg. Entrusted with the care of the last dragon egg, Yara discovers it is more powerful than she could ever have imagined. But there are others who want it and they’ll stop at nothing to steal it for themselves...
A moving story about bravery, self-belief and our responsibility to protect the natural world.
