Title Dragon Quest Series --- Author Allan Baillie Illustrator Wayne Harris Publisher Candlewick Press - 2013 First Printing Scholastic - 2006 Category Children Warnings None Main Characters You! Main Elements Dragons

A noble dragon fighter sets out on an expedition to fight the last dragon. Would you like to come along?

Through shifting sands and tangled forests and past the whispering abyss, many awful perils are braved - witches, trolls, werewolves, ghost owls, scorpions and vultures - but where is the dragon?

This clever tale by Allan Baillie and Wayne Harris is not to be missed by anyone with the heart of a daring adventurer.

A tale told in rhyme directly to the reader, as if you yourself where participating in the quest along with the dragon slayer. Harris' illustrations are intricate and detailed, forcing the reader to take their time and examine each image, and each reading you'll probably find something new hidden away in a dark corner. But after travelling through all the lands and avoiding all the scary beasts met along the way, where is the dragon which you hunt? Sometimes the very thing we are looking for is right under our noses, and I can't tell you more, you'll need to read the book to get to the grand reveal, and excellent surprising twist at the end. I'll admit I didn't love the prose, but the ending more than made up for it.
