Dreki: My Icelandic Dragon (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A boy, his grandfather, and a baby dragon set off on an international adventure that takes them from Minnesota to Iceland in this middle grade urban fantasy perfect for fans of When You Trap a Tiger and How to Train Your Dragon.

Johan is off to visit his Grandpa Siggy--a charismatic, impetuous Icelander with a big secret: he took a dragon egg with him when he immigrated to America from Iceland. As fate would have it, Dreki hatched just a few hours after Johan was born, magically linking the two. But Dreki was kept a secret.

Now, many years later, the time has come for Dreki to journey home, and for Johan to discover his ancestry through a life-changing trip to Iceland. But the clock is ticking as both Siggy and Dreki's health is in jeopardy. It's up to Johan to make sure both of them get home safely and for the secret of Dreki to remain. This intergenerational, cross-cultural coming-of-age novel explores aspects of Icelandic folklore while dealing sensitively with the themes of aging and returning home.
