The Stone Dragon

By Ray Flahant

Whatever you may have previously read, or learned about Dragons, forget it - it’s mostly wrong. The only correct things you know about Dragons is that they are very big, and they can fly. Dragons are not reptiles, they are Avians - the ancestors of all birds. Many people have seen a Dragon at least once in their lives, but apart from one or two very special people, they don’t remember it.

Timothy Tamworth is a bright, intelligent, 11-year old boy who lives with his mum and dad somewhere in the south of England. One sunny morning during the school summer holidays, he and his friend David are playing soft-ball tennis in Timothy’s back garden. David accidentally bats the ball over Timothy’s neighbour’s fence, so Timothy has to go round and ask if he can have his ball back.
There’s a big shed in his neighbour’s garden; Timothy can see it from his bedroom window, and he’s often wondered what might be in it. While searching for his ball he sees that the shed door is open, so he takes a look inside. What he finds there leads the boys on an amazing and fantastical adventure in two worlds - Humanworld and Dragonworld, where they discover what Dragons are really like, where they come from and why, and how it was that they first came into contact with humans.

This is a science-based fictional adventure story suitable for readers aged 9 years upwards.
