To prove to his father that he is a real dragon, young Drake is sent to the local village to cause some mischief and start a fire. But Drake has only ever breathed fire to roast a tasty caterpillar. How will be burn down a whole house? Or a school? Or even an old wooden shack? Has Drake got what it takes to make his father proud? A funny and moving story about the bonds between fathers and children, with fantastic illustrations and a positive, peaceful message - and all the magic and mayhem you'd hope for in a tale about dragons.
