Tom's Dragon Trouble

If Sir John and Lady Eleanor hadn't been so busy sprucing up Creaky Castle for the King's visit, Tom would have told them about his new pet dragon, Sparky – honestly! But Sparky is Tom's (rapidly growing!) secret.

With the King and his men ensconced, Tom overhears sinister Baron de Rathbone plotting to murder the King and knows he must act. But Tom's plan fails and he and his family are thrown into their own dungeons, threatened with execution - things look bleak until Sparky saves the day.

Ideal for newly-confident readers, with short chapters, clear font and additional humour in the comic-style illustrations, this is a wonderfully anarchic historical romp combining a heady mixture of evil barons, dragons, castles and good honest pluck.
