But when she's dragged along to the library one day by her two best friends, she makes an incredible discovery - and soon it's up to Kit and her friends to save the library... and the world."For seven-plus readers with a yen for more modern-feeling escapism...Cracking pace, comic one-liners and a gleefully evil villain, brought to life by Davide Ortu's illustrations, add up to a debut with broad appeal. - Imogen Russell Williams,The Guardian"My daughter and I loved The Dragon in the Library - it's very funny, packed full of adventure and Kit is the BEST. It's magical." - Jenny McLachlan, author of The Land of Roar
Customer Reviews
I read The Dragon In The Library by Louie Stowell with my kids and we really enjoyed it! The 8 year old read chapters out loud, and the 12 year old listened to the opening few and said he’d never want to end up in a space book about meteors (you’ll have to read it to know what I’m referring to)!It’s a rip roaring MG adventure with a huge plot twist, a horrid villain, and characters that are so believable and loveable.Kit, the main character, breaks stereotypes, she’s cool, sassy and her voice is SO good. She thinks libraries and books are boring and boy does she learn they’re not! This story is full of adventure and mayhem and dialogue that’ll make you chuckle. Honestly, EVERY school and public library should have this book. In fact, I think every middle grader should! It’ll help them see books as portals to new worlds - which of course they are! .I loved the mention of various books and fairytales such as Baba Yaga’s, The House With Chicken Legs and the fact that the library was about to be closed down. The protests are something we can all relate to. My children and I recited some of the spells, hoping we could also hear the quiet (swipe to see pics of these scenes)! .Great friends, a horrible villain, a trusted guardian and a cute dragon-dog - what more could you want in a story?We can’t wait for book two!!
