Warm, sweet wish-fulfilment - Guardian

Luma's best friend in the world is her pet Timir, who looks like a puppy most of the time... except when he turns into a baby dragon.

Luma is so excited to see her new friend Ella. But Timir is very grumpy. Even though he has never met Luma's new friend, he already knows he does not like her and is determined to cause trouble!

Meanwhile, there's great excitement next door as it's Nani's birthday. Luma and Timir race to Nani's back door, arms loaded with gifts. But Nani is worried as Zayan, her dragon, hasn't come to visit her. And he's never missed a birthday before.

Can Luma and Timir track Zayan down and help to make Nani's birthday extra special?

About the Author

Leah Mohammed (Author)

Leah Mohammed lives in Surrey, UK, with her daughter. Her books are inspired by her British-Pakistani heritage and by the kinds of story she would have loved to read as a girl, featuring children having magical adventures.

Loretta Schauer (Illustrator)

Loretta originally trained as a dancer, then managed a conservation charity on Hampstead Heath for many years - battling brambles by day, and practising her drawing skills by night. A self-taught artist, Loretta won the Waterstone's 'Picture This' competition in 2011 and has since illustrated picture books and fiction titles for publishers. She lives in North London at the top of a tall grey building with her husband and pet hamster. She occasionally escapes to go galloping around Hampstead Heath, swimming in the ponds, or noodling for fossils. One day she hopes to live beside the seaside with a garden full of chickens and guinea pigs.
