Buckle and Squash and the Monstrous Moat-Dragon
Sarah Courtauld, Sarah Courtauld
WINNER OF THE 2014 SAINSBURY’S CHILDREN’S BOOK AWARD
Here begins a tale of two sisters – Eliza, who dreams of becoming a swashbuckling hero, and Lavender, whose greatest wish is to be a pampered princess.
When Lavender gets kidnapped in the Forest of Toothy, Vicious and Flatulent Dragons, the sisters must face a host of deadly enemies. Hairy-faced villains. Ominous turnips. A witch called Boris. And a moat-dragon who is just a little bit peckish for a tasty child-sized snack.
Will Eliza and Lavender ever escape?
Why is their goat, Gertrude, so depressed?
Whose side is Bonnet, the smallest giant in the world really on?
And what day is it today?
This book will answer some, but not all, of these questions . . .
Reviews
I liked this boiok becIse it's very expressive and I liked the words that were used. The story was full of dragons and I liked the main characters.

This is a very funny story with lots of dragons and adventure. Once you get reading you can't put it down, but don't read it at bedtime when your mum says you should be asleep because she will hear you laughing.

If you like princess and dragon stories then this is the one for you. Scrambling through forests and rescuing someone who doesn't want to be rescued! It was a bit slow at the start but it got better.
