This is a story about a girl who discovers a baby dragon, but it’s really about grief, bravery, friendship, and domestic abuse. It is beautifully written and evokes the landscape of Mt Isa and North Queensland so well. I love the tone, and how it deals with challenging topics in a sensitive way. Love love love this.
