An adventure to treasure from two multi award-winning creators, discover a classic story of family, friendship and believing in your own magic. 

When Summer and her foster family are having lunch one day, a hole appears in the middle of the living room. That hole leads to a dragon and the promise of three wishes, granted by a very unusual witch.

 

Summer wishes for popularity and plenty of money, and things are looking up . . . until she realizes that the hole in the floor is getting bigger and the witch is getting more sinister. As things begin to unravel, will Summer get her dearest most secret wish?

 

Nick Lake's classic story of dragons, witches and wish-fulfilment is beautifully illustrated by Emily Gravett.
