THE HOUSE WITH A DRAGON IN IT written by Nick Lake and illustrated by Emily Gravett

Primarily I know Nick Lake as a brilliant YA author but he writes for middle grade audiences with equal sensitivity and imagination in THE HOUSE WITH A DRAGON IN IT . Illustrations by Emily Gravett expand the levels of the story of Summer, who is not new to entering foster care and yet in her current home a totally new experience occurs when a hole opens up in the middle of the living room and Summer discovers a dragon guarding a witch in a bottle. You want to scream, “don’t open the bottle!” But she does and then must deal with the traumas and dramas that occur. Fantasy and reality come together beautifully with the skill of this author and illustrator. Find out more about this book in the purchase link below.
