The Dragon Slayer

Freya lives in a castle where she has everything a girl could want - loving parents, loads of books AND marshmallows. But what she really wants is a dragon ... to slay. Freya doesn't understand why it's always knights who get to be brave, bold dragon slayers, so one morning she decides to go and slay one for herself. Unbeknownst to her, a dragon, tired of a steady diet of too-crunchy knights, happens to be looking for a sweet and tender girl to eat. Surely, when the two come face to face, a mighty battle will ensue! Or will it? This charming picture book by CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal-nominee Tatyana Feeney features a strong, independent heroine with a kind heart. Humorously defying expectations, Freya teaches readers about courage, friendship and following your own path in life.
