From award-winning author Polly Ho-Yen comes a beautifully illustrated story for readers aged 7+.

The Last Dragon follows the story of Yara, who has only glimpsed the last dragon on Earth twice. However, she's preoccupied with other pressing matters: her sister is in hospital, her parents are panicking, and her new teacher has labelled her a troublemaker and wants her out. But one evening, amid the glow of the shopping centre lights in Milton Keynes, Yara finds herself being watched by the last dragon. Before it departs, it leaves her a gift: its only egg.

Entrusted with the care of the last dragon egg, Yara discovers it is more powerful than she could ever have imagined. Yet, there are others who desire it and will stop at nothing to steal it for themselves.

This is a moving story about bravery, self-belief, and our responsibility to protect the natural world.
