Kit hates reading and loves getting muddy and having adventures; however, her friends, Alita and Josh both love to read. So when they persuade Kit to make a quick stop at the library, Kit isn't very happy; however they meet Faith, the librarian and then Kit discovers that strange and magical things happen when she reads a book. This leads to magic, dragons, adventure and an attempt to save the dragon in the library.
This is a wonderfully exciting story of friendship, the power books, reading and libraries (I had an image in my head throughout the book of the local library I used as a child). Kit is a reluctant reader who is clumsy and makes mistakes - it's wonderful to see this and I'm sure there will be many children who will relate to her. With great illustrations, this is a perfect books for children aged 7-9.
