Aventurine is the fiercest, bravest kind of dragon, and she's ready to prove it
to her family by leaving the safety of their mountain cave and capturing the mos
t dangerous prey of all: a human. But when the human she captures tricks her int
o drinking enchanted hot chocolate, she finds herself transformed into a puny hu
man girl with tiny blunt teeth, no fire, and not one single claw. She's still th
e fiercest creature in these mountains though - and now she's found her true pas
sion: chocolate! All she has to do is walk on two feet to the human city, find h
erself an apprenticeship (whatever that is) in a chocolate house (which sounds d
elicious), and she'll be conquering new territory in no time ...won't she? Wild
and reckless young Aventurine will bring havoc to the human city - but what she
doesn't expect is that she'll find real friendship there too, along with betraya
l, deception, scrumptious chocolate and a startling new understanding of what it
means to be a human (and a dragon).
A pinch of Ella Enchanted, a sprinkling
of How to Train your Dragon and a generous helping of Eva Ibbotsen -The Dragon w
ith a Chocolate Heart is entirely delicious.
