Warm, sweet wish-fulfilment, with cute illustrations perfectly pitched for 6-plus' Guardian

A collection of two warm and funny stories about Luma and her cheeky pet dragon.

When Luma Dewan wakes up on the morning of her seventh birthday, she knows that today will be special. But she has no idea just how wonderful and extraordinary it will be.

For today is the day she will meet Timir—a real talking dragon. Or at least when Luma is around, that's what he is. When anyone else is there, he becomes an ordinary grey puppy with a fluffy tail, who loves chasing squirrels and bouncing on trampolines.

It's a big secret to keep, and Luma's clever cousin Arjun is soon suspicious of this peculiar puppy, who doesn't quite behave like any other dog. Luckily Luma's grandmother, Nani, is there to help, and to Luma's surprise, Nani might just know a little dragon magic of her own...

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.
