Dragon Skin

A grieving girl in a remote Australian mining town rescues a baby dragon—and finds the courage to save herself—in this luminous middle grade fantasy about friendship, family, and finding a way to fly, perfect for fans of Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate.

How to save a dragon:
1) Assemble equipment.
2) Believe in everything.

Pip doesn’t like going home anymore. Her mother hasn’t been the same since her boyfriend moved in, so Pip has to go to bed early and pretend she doesn’t exist. She prefers to sit by the waterhole at dusk to daydream, dig for treasure, and remember her best friend.

But when Pip finds a half-dead creature at the waterhole, everything changes. Little Fella’s wings are badly hurt, and Pip can’t heal him alone. To save the small dragon and return him home, Pip needs help from two unexpected friends—and more courage than she thinks she has.
