Listen and read

Judy Hayman

Spring is coming, the snow is melting and the young dragons are growing up. There are quarrels and new alliances, a family problem to solve, a desperate hunt and help from unexpected friends. Soon Emily and her family must leave the Castle and head home to Ben McIlwhinnie and their Scottish Glen, where Tom gets a shock, Lily finds playmates and Emily faces the biggest challenge of her life. 

There is excitement but also sadness in this, the sixth and last volume of the Dragon Tales Chronicles.

Dragon Tales

The Dragons' Call

This is a particularly difficult winter for the Scottish dragons. Emily and Tom are missing their friends. A new game on the frozen loch with the otters is fun for a while, but soon they are trapped and in danger. Help is needed, and it comes most unexpectedly! 

A dangerous journey, a secret hide-out and the closest encounter yet with Humans make this the most adventurous of the Dragon Tales so far. This is the fifth of the Dragon Tales Chronicles.

Dragons in Snow

“Everyone knows dragons don’t exist… ” 

Des, the wild Travelling dragon, takes far too many risks with Humans. His adventures are full of narrow escapes. 

While he is away, Tom and Emily enjoy an exciting summer with Alice and Ollie and some unexpected visitors. And when Des returns, things get even more adventurous!

There are close encounters with seals and whales, fierce birds and Humans – and even a train…

This is the third of the Dragon Tales Chronicles.

Quest for Adventure

Emily, a small Scottish blue dragon, lives with Mum and Dad and younger brother Tom in a cave in a remote Highland glen. When they discover that a holiday camp is being built at the bottom of the glen – and come close to discovery in a daring midnight raid – they realize they must find a new home, away from these dangerous Humans. 

They set out on their quest and find a mysterious mountain, which is not all it seems… . Will they find their new home? And will Emily ever find the friend she longs for? This is the first of the Dragon Tales chronicles, and will be a firm favourite for reading aloud or reading alone for children aged 5-11.

"This is a sparkling story of a feisty young dragon, Emily, and her family. In her search for a friend she alerts the family to danger, which means they must move on.

Will they find a new home? And will Emily find her special friend? This will be a good length for first readers and a wonderful ‘read aloud’ book for all. I can't wait to read the next one!" - Margaret Forrester

Quest for a Cave

“Everyone knows dragons don’t exist… ” 

Along with their new cave in the Scottish Highlands, young dragons Emily and Tom have found a kindly protector in the mountain giant Ben McIlwhinnie. But Emily still longs for a friend. Her search brings Desmond, a wild and colourful traveller, who takes the family on an adventurous journey.

Along the way Emily gets her wish, Tom gets a fright and finds a hero, and there are plenty of surprises in store for all the family. (Whoever expected elephants… ?)

This is the second of the Dragon Tales Chronicles.
