The Twelve Quests, BOOK 2, A Dragon's Tooth by Ana Fischel. It was 1849 and times were as sombre as a funeral for most people, in particular for 10 year old twins Albert and Florrie Leadington. You see it was pretty ghastly that they would never see their parents again unless they successfully completed twelve seemingly impossible quests, accompanied only by their hopeless guardian Arthur Canarthy and a smuggler named Ebenezer Smythe, but what had been even more unsettling was the fact they had only just managed to escape being murdered. However, with a dreadful dark magic at play and Madame Divitan hell bent on destroying them, their journey was not going to be a walk in the park. What with trolls and cannibals lurking on the horizon, the children were going to need all the luck they could get. "You can come out now husband," she called out, "they will not wake from the spell until morning." In the shadows something stirred and slowly, the huge monstrous shape of a dragon emerged, its sharp claws scratching across the floor. The terrifying creature edged closer to where the children lay and lowered its scaly snout, sniffing them.
"There's not much meat on them," snarled the dragon, its razor sharp teeth glinting horribly. Intrigued? You should be if you like quirky fantasy adventure books full of danger, dark magic and mystical folklore! The first 6 in this series of The Twelve Quests (for 7 - 12 year olds) are now available to buy online via most main bookstores and are published by Arts Council funded YouWriteOn. The remaining 6 will be published in 2010.
