The Dragonsitter

from £29.99

'Dear Uncle Morton. You'd better get on a plane right now and come back here. Your dragon has eaten Jemima.' It had sounded so easy: Edward was going to look after Uncle Morton's unusual pet for a week while he went on holiday.

But soon the fridge is empty, the curtains are blazing, and the postman is fleeing down the garden path.
