Dragonracers by Peter Bunzl
The discovery of a dragon egg could mean a ticket to the skies for aspiring aeronauts Kitty and Harris in this page-turning adventure from award-winning author Peter Bunzl. Twins Kitty and Harris Hawk have grown up at the airfield where their father works as an engineer. Kitty in particular is obsessed with the idea of becoming an aeronaut but her father thinks children should stay firmly on the ground. When the twins discover a strange and unusually large egg from which a dragon hatches, little do they imagine that this is the first step on a journey that will see them taking to the skies and competing in the first long-distance air race. Can they win the huge prize that’s at stake and will their daring adventure lead their father to change his mind about Kitty’s future?"A brilliant blend of fantasy and history, all wrapped up in the story of the first London to Manchester Air Race in 1910! … Positivity, love and the warmth of sibling companionship radiate off the page" – Scope for Imagination
"Brilliant retelling of the early days of human flight, but with supernatural twists … Packed with nostalgia and facts, adorned with magic and impossibility, and all edited to maximise dyslexia-friendliness. Wonderful." – James Haddell, author
"Set amidst the competitive and innovative 1910 Manchester-London air race, packed with suspense, fun-filled fantasy, a daring cast of characters and a magnificent dragon, this sky-high adventure is a thrill ride from the starting gun right through to the finish line." – Lancashire Post
