Book Description
One dragon looking for an egg + one lonely egg in need of a mommy = one delightfully perfect adoptive family. In this heartwarming story, a dragon in need of an egg finds an abandoned egg in need of a mommy. It seems like the perfect fit, but when that egg hatches, the little baby doesn't look like all the other dragons. In fact, he looks a lot like a penguin! Of course, his mommy loves him no matter what. But the other young dragons aren't so sure. Little do they know that their feathered friend's differences will save the day! Sometimes things happen for a reason . . . and some families are just meant to be together.

Book Description
Now for something completely different from Mini Grey! A mother hen tells her chicks about the egg that wanted to fly. “The egg was young. It didn’t know much. We tried to tell it, but of course it didn’t listen.” The egg loves looking up at the birds (yes, it has eyes). It climbs 303 steps (yes, it has legs) to the top of a very tall tower—and jumps. It feels an enormous egg rush. “Whee!” it cries. “I am flying!” But it is not flying, it is falling. Hold your tears, dear reader—there is a sunny ending for this modern-day Humpty Dumpty. Impossible to categorize, Egg Drop is Mini Grey at her zaniest.

What if the fate of the world lay in the hands of an unlikely pair of misfits and a dragon's egg? Roger Briggs has been trained to believe there is no such thing as Magick and has only ever shown interest in his own scientific pursuits, mainly that of studying bugs. "Science & Law & Nothing More!" This is the Government's mantra that Roger and all children are taught in this alternative 1950's Inglande, where even Science itself is being manipulated by unseen powers, who are secretly plotting to rule all the hidden Worlds of Planet Erf. But then a chance collision with the nature loving, Mary Maddam, changes everything. This soon leads our unlikely heroes on adventures they could never have imagined as they discover the magick of Under Erf and encounter the Dragon Queen Mavis. Faced with impossible odds and deadly foes, do Roger and Mary have the courage to survive and rescue the last Dragon's Egg entrusted to them and its unhatched Dragon Prince?

Seraphina took the literary world by storm with 8 starred reviews and numerous “Best of” lists. At last, her eagerly awaited sequel has arrived—and with it comes an epic battle between humans and dragons. The kingdom of Goredd: a world where humans and dragons share life with an uneasy balance, and those few who are both human and dragon must hide the truth. Seraphina is one of these, part girl, part dragon, who is reluctantly drawn into the politics of her world. When war breaks out between the dragons and humans, she must travel the lands to find those like herself—for she has an inexplicable connection to all of them, and together they will be able to fight the dragons in powerful, magical ways. As Seraphina gathers this motley crew, she is pursued by humans who want to stop her. But the most terrifying is another half dragon, who can creep into people’s minds and take them over. Until now, Seraphina has kept her mind safe from intruders, but that also means she’s held back her own gift.
