A soaring coming-of-age novel.' - THE OBSERVER In a world where girls and women are taught to
be quiet  the dragons inside them are about to be set free ... In this timely and timeless
speculative novel  set in 1950s America  Kelly Barnhill exposes a world that wants to keep
girls and women small - and examines what happens when they rise up.   Alex Green is four years
old when she first sees a dragon in her next-door neighbour's garden  in the spot where the old
lady usually sits. The huge dragon  an astonished expression on its face  opens its wings and
soars away across the rooftops.    Then Alex's mother disappears  and reappears a week later 
with no explanation as to where she has been. But she is a ghostly shadow of her former self 
and with scars across her body - wide  deep burns  as though she had been attacked by a monster
who breathed fire. Alex  growing from young girl to fiercely independent teenager  is desperate
for answers  but doesn't get any. Whether anyone likes it or not  the Mass Dragoning is coming.
Everything is about to change  forever.  Perfect for fans of THE HANDMAID'S TALE  VOX  and THE
POWER.
