Entrusted with the care of the last dragon egg, Yara discovers it is more powerful than she could ever have imagined.

The Last Dragon Reviews
-
A middle grade fantasy about friendship, sisterhood, the environment and dragons.
Yara is acting out at school because she has to be perfect at home, her sister is poorly in hospital and her parents can't give her the attention she requires.
There is a magical dragon floating around and it lays an egg near Yara and she has to battle against the dragon police to look after this egg and keep it safe, so she can try to get it to her sister to make her better.
Yara isn't always the most likeable, but she is dealing with a lot and underneath just wants to make her sister better. She makes friends with Bertie and working together they are stronger.
