The Dragon Slayer

Freya lives in a castle where she has everything a girl could want – loving parents, loads of books AND marshmallows. But what she really wants is a dragon … to slay. Freya doesn’t understand why it’s always knights who get to be brave, bold dragon slayers, so one morning she decides to go and slay one for herself. Unbeknownst to her, a dragon, tired of a steady diet of too-crunchy knights, happens to be looking for a sweet and tender girl to eat. Surely, when the two come face-to-face, a mighty battle will ensue! Or will it?

This charming picture book by CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal–nominee Tatyana Feeney features a strong, independent heroine with a kind heart. Humorously defying expectations, Freya teaches readers about courage, friendship and following your own path in life.
