'Surprising, beautiful, unique.' Katrina Nannestad, award-winning author of All the Beautiful Things

How to save a dragon:

Assemble equipment. Water, Weet-Bix, sugar, syringe, sticky tape, scissors.
Believe in everything.

Pip never wants to go home. She likes to sit at the waterhole at dusk and remember Mika, her best friend. At home, her mother's not the same since her boyfriend moved in. They don't laugh anymore, and Pip has to go to bed early, turn off her light, and pretend she doesn't exist.

When she finds a half-dead creature at the waterhole, everything changes. She knows she has to save this small dragon and return it to where it comes from. But how?

A story about surviving and saving those you love, by the multi-award-winning author of Lenny's Book of Everything.

'Karen Foxlee is skilled at writing brave yet vulnerable young characters who steal readers' hearts forever, and Dragon Skin is no different ... A magical tale that proves what you most need to survive is love.' Books+Publishing
