The Dragon Of Og
by Rumer Godden[From the inside book flap:] It happened long ago in the lowlands of Scotland in the days when castles were made of wood; this particular Castle of Tundergarth stood on a hill above fields and meadows.... There ran a wide river called the Water of Milk but it was not as mild as it sounds because in the biggest of its pools, below a deep dark cave, lived a dragon.... So begins this charming story of a gentle Dragon, a stubbornly proud lord, the red-headed Angus Og, who inherits the Castle, and the lord's wife. For hundreds of years the Dragon of Og had quietly taken for his food two bullocks a month from the lord's herd. No one minded. The Dragon brought luck, and besides, he might destroy the countryside if he was angered. But Angus Og would have none of this. "That Dragon must be killed," he said. And so began a battle of wits that could end only in tragedy--or so it seemed. This witty, exciting, and poetic story, based on an old legend of the Scottish Lowlands, has been brilliantly and delicately told by Rumer Godden.

by James RileyIn this hilarious fantasy adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series, a girl strikes a deal with the ancient, cranky dragon she accidentally summoned to teach her the forbidden magic she needs to save her mother.STOP. Don&’t read any further. There are magic spells in this book, and the Emperor has forbidden anyone from learning magic, because it&’s way too dangerous! If you try one of the spells, any number of terrible things might happen (or so the Emperor says). Don&’t be like Ciara, a twelve-year-old girl living in the tiny village of Skael. When she used a spell from within this book, she ended up summoning a dragon. A DRAGON! Those things breathe fire! From their mouths! She&’s obviously doomed. And don&’t listen if Ciara tells you that dragons won&’t hurt humans, and that they even once taught us magic, a thousand years ago. Definitely don&’t pay any attention to the fact that the dragon she summoned, Scorch, might be willing to help rescue Ciara&’s mother and free her village from the Emperor and his Warden, because it&’s all obviously a big lie. So put this book down, and forget about it. Magic is just way too dangerous. After all, you wouldn&’t want to summon your own dragon, would you?
