Description
An adventure to treasure from two multi award-winning creators, discover a classic story of family, friendship and believing in your own magic.
When Summer and her foster family are having lunch one day, a hole appears in the middle of the living room. That hole leads to a dragon and the promise of three wishes, granted by a very unusual witch.
Summer wishes for popularity and plenty of money, and things are looking up... until she realises that the hole in the floor is getting bigger and the witch is getting more sinister. As things begin to unravel, will Summer get her dearest most secret wish?
The House With a Dragon in It is Nick Lake's classic story of dragons, witches, and wish-fulfilment, beautifully illustrated by Emily Gravett.
