'They both watched the arrow sail cleanly over the straw target, missing it by a good three feet at least, and land somewhere in the mess of tangled bushes at the base of the stone tower that stood across the courtyard... Thomas turned and stomped through the long grass towards the tower, with Emily following...' Noble children Thomas and Emily have always known their mother to be sensible, the lady of the castle, and if anything, a bit boring. But then they meet Meg, a cranky scribe who claims that she was a friend of their mother's back when the two were children, even before the dragon lived in the castle. A dragon? Unsure whether to believe Meg, the siblings return again and again to hear the fantastical story of their mother's escapades, while putting their funniest penmanship to work, and getting caught up in a quest to reunite the one-time friends. Kidnapping, fighting, a ferocious dragon, loyal elves, and true love - coupled with squabbling siblings, archery practice gone amiss, and ill-fated dives into the moat, this is a multilayered story blending adventure and humour, medieval tropes and modern sensibility in a satisfying read for the whole family. Especially fun to read out loud, fabulous artwork throughout, 256 pages aimed for ages 7-10 years, 16 x 21cm.
