This hilarious middle-grade novel with illustrations throughout sees Tomas discover that he can grow dragons in his own garden!


When Tomas discovers a strange old tree at the bottom of his grandfathers garden, he doesnt think much of it. But he takes the funny fruit from the tree back into the house and gets the shock of his life when a tiny dragon hatches! The tree is a dragon fruit tree, and Tomas now has his very own dragon, Flicker!

While Tomas finds out that life with Flicker is fun, he also finds that it is very...unpredictable.

And then something extraordinary happens: more dragon fruits appear on the tree! Now its official, Tomas is growing dragons.
