Dragonkeeper - Carole Wilkinson


Coincidentally, this was lent me by Joanne just as I was finishing The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, so this became my second children's book in a row, and I read it virtually in one sitting, because it's a charming heartwarming story about a young slave girl who becomes the companion of the last remaining dragon in China. In the company of Danzi the dragon, she realises her own true power and changes from a frightened shy slave girl into a strong and resourceful girl, as they journey across China to the Ocean, pitting their wits against dangers and enemies.
