‘Shepherd has created a magical series that makes eyes shine with wonder, hearts swell with warmth, and rooms fill with giggles’ Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs

Eleven-year-old Tomas has a secret friend like no other: Flicker, a dragon with glittering eyes and scales that flicker from fiery orange to ruby red. But Tomas is also having to get used to Flicker being away, now that his dragon’s home is back in the frosty North. Adventure is never far away for Tomas, though – as he finds out when another dragon hatches on the dragonfruit tree at the bottom of the garden, a dragon who quite quickly decides he is sticking firmly with Tomas! Zing is a tiny dragon with oversized wings, who causes havoc wherever he goes.

When a new girl, Aura, starts at school, proclaiming herself to be a dragon expert, Tomas is thrown into confusion. He is the one with the dragons and the dragonfruit tree, after all! Before he knows it, Tomas has blurted out his secret to Aura, and sets in motion a chain of events which will lead to adventures and mayhem aplenty …

I enjoyed the first chapter the most but all the rest were good but not as good.” My favourite character was the little dragon Zing. Because I liked how he had lots of energy My second favourite character was another dragon called Flicker. Because he was so cute ,big and full from claw to neck with energy so anyone could ride him.

This book may have been long but it was long and interesting, filled with dragons and secrets but the real cliff hanger is, will Flicker ever come back?

The friend dragon. I loved the book because I really like dragons. Allie had lots of dragon friends.

I would recommend this book to everyone who is my age.

I like this book because I like dragons. My favourite person from this book is the new character called Aura because she likes dragons just like me. I would not recommend this book to someone because I do not want anyone discovering the fun that you can grow actual real life dragons.

It was a funny book about always looking after animals

I think that the dragon's in the story are really magical. The superhero squad were brave to own dragon's and to find the Dragon fruit seeds because they are very difficult to plant. It was fiction and I liked Thomas the best because he's the main character in the story. I would recommend this book to some one else because it was a really magical and I love dragons.

Really adventurous

I really liked this book because it is about a boy and his friends' dragons coming back home when they've fully grown. My favourite character is Tomas because he cares a lot about his dragon. I would recommend this book to other children because they would be able to understand if someone in their family or their friends are away for some time they would learn how to not miss then so much.
