Dreki My Icelandic Dragon
Mary Logue
Johan’s grandfather who is a charismatic Icelander had secretly brought a dragon egg to America when he immigrated. The dragon, Dreki, hatched the same day Johan was born, creating a magical bond between them.
Now, years later, both Siggy and Dreki are ailing, and Johan must race against time to bring them safely back to Iceland. There, he will uncover his family’s roots while fighting to protect Dreki’s existence.
It is a coming-of-age story blending Icelandic folklore with themes of family, aging, and the journey home. And also perfect for dragon lovers!
