Dragonsitter The Dragonsitter, Book 1, (Paperback)

Publishers Weekly,Originally published in the U.K., this entertaining series opener from Lacey (Island of Thieves) takes place over a chaotic week in which Edward Smith-Pickle and his family look after a dragon belonging to his Uncle Morton. The story unfolds almost entirely through Edward's increasingly harried emails to his uncle: "Dear Uncle Morton, What's a tether? I don't know and Mom won't tell me, but she's at the end of hers." The emails go unanswered, leading Edward to worry about Uncle Morton's safety. Parsons's b&w cartoons, cleverly framed as photos attached to Edward's emails, reveal a house in ruin, with curtains aflame, a gaping hole in the fridge, and neighborhood cats fleeing in terror. The discovery that dragons love chocolate helps set things right, paving the way for future destructive adventures. Ages 6-10. (Sept.) ��� Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
