Gruffen

Written by Chris D'Lacey

Illustrated by Adam Stower

Lucy's mom is an artist that works with clay. Her art studio is called the Dragon's Den because her specialty is creating magical dragons. In fact, their house is protected by many of her creations. Gruffen's job is to protect Lucy from the monster that is flying around her window each night. Much to Gruffen's surprise, the monster turns out to be a really good friend.

This chapter book is the first in a new series by Chris D'Lacey called The Dragons of Wayward Crescent. If Lucy's mom could make you a dragon with a special talent, what kind of dragon would you want? Why?
