‘A warm-hearted debut … lovely, expressive, characterful’ SUNDAY TIMES on The Boy Who Grew Dragons
Tomas has a secret – a big secret. He has his own tiny dragon, Flicker! A dragon which grew on a very special tree at the bottom of his grandad’s garden. And not only that – his friends Ted, Kai and Kat have dragons too, all grown on the same dragonfruit tree …
Having your own dragon is magical – but Tomas is also about to find out what living with a dragon is REALLY like. When the fire-breathing kicks in and you get singed every five seconds, it’s like having an unpredictable volcano in your pocket. Learning to train the dragons and keep them out of trouble at school and home will take all Tomas’s creativity and patience … What is more, the dragonfruit tree is starting to look droopy and unwell. Tomas and his friends have got to do all they can restore it to health and uncover its deepest mysteries, as well as trying to work out what big secret local bully Liam, ‘King of Trouble’, has got up his sleeve … One thing is for sure, life is never dull when you have a dragon in your pocket.

I thought the giant dragon that couldn't fly was really funny!

This the second book in the series. It takes place 5 days after the first book The boy who Grew Dragons. In this book Thomas and his friends have to hide their dragons from the rest of the world. Each of their dragons are unique and have different powers, which brings a challenge when they are left alone. But the biggest danger is the school bully (Liam) who also has a dragon the biggest dragon of them all. Will he tell the whole about dragons or are their secrets safe? In this book my favourite characters are Cat and Kai, who are always squabbling but manage to care for their growing dragons and keep their secrets.

This book is set while the boys dragons are growing up and what mischief they get up to!

It is a very interesting book - the main character Tomas’ dragon is my favourite character because even though he doesn’t have a special power, he saved his friends. The dragons are on the good side and help save the day.

I liked the book because I like dragons. My favourite character from this book is Crystal and Dodger the twins dragons because Crystal can blow ice and Dodger can breath fire and camouflage. I would not recommend this book to someone else because I don't want anyone discovering the fun that you can grow dragons.

I really liked the part when the dragons were running around the kitchen & flicker was walking around with his head in a pan.

It was a fiction book. I enjoyed when Cat said there was an ostrich in the art cupboard at school.

My favourite part was when a little girl built a mountain of soil and jumped in it and buried herself. Her big brother had to help her get out and it reminded me of times when I help my little sister.
