The Fire Within by Chris D'Lacey
David moves in with the Pennykettle family, in need of a
place to stay while he goes to college. Liz Pennykettle makes clay dragons and
sells them at the local farmer’s market. After David arrives, Liz crafts a
special dragon for him as a housewarming gift. When Lucy Pennykettle asks David
to help her protect some squirrels, he becomes inspired to write her a story.
As the book unfolds, the mystery of the squirrels gets deeper and deeper, as
does David’s story. Does David’s tale somehow have a connection with his
dragon? Read The Fire Within to find out!
I loved how there were so many questions and you just can’t
put it down. It was so involving, and every time I picked it up I was
transported to another world. There was a bit of false advertising, though. It
looks like a dragon book, but most of it is about squirrels. However, they
threw in bits of dragon mysteries. Warning: This book is an emotional roller
coaster!
Rating: 4 out of 5
