The Stone Dragon by Jan McGavin

“I will tell you a story of the greatest hero who ever lived, and how he brought his people to a new age of peace and joy”
When a young Dragon is hatched imperfect his mother must abandon him into the world to find his own way and rely on those he meets.

If you are a confident reader and enjoy epic fantasy like Tolkien you will probably like this. The characters are relatable and there is plenty of action with a few twists in the tale. I hope there will be more to come in the Drakkonsaga. Miss McGill, Library *****

A good book with dragons, humans, dwarfs and other creatures. It’s all about a dragon who looks, and is, different than the rest of his kind. He’s smart and compassionate, this book joins him on his adventures across the land. LD (S1) *****

Icefire by Chris D’Lacey

“The sequel to The Fire Within, Icefire continues the story of student, David Rain, and his life in the Pennykettle household. Life isn’t exactly normal lodging at the Pennykettles – not when you’re surrounded by hundreds of clay pottery dragons. Fate seems to be dictating an unusual course for David when his university tutor sets him a writing project on the existence – or not – of dragons. The tantalizing prize – a fully-funded research trip to the Arctic – seems just within his grasp. David starts to research the subject and soon discovers a connection between dragons and the Arctic just as it begins to snow. Is it only a coincidence? Or could deeper forces be at work?”
An extraordinarily good book.  Better than the first. ****
