Publisher's Synopsis
When young Maud found a little creature in the grass with brilliant green skin and beautiful eyes, she immediately fell in love.
She didn't find out it was a baby wyvern - a kind of dragon - until her parents insisted they kill it on the spot.
But for good or ill, Maud lied to her parents and took her new pet to a secret place in the woods where she could raise it.
As she grows up - along with her dragon - she's about to find out that no secrets last forever and there are consequences for every action.
This somber but fantastical fairy tale has been passed down through the ages and continues to inspire stories of dragons, friendship and folly.
An original retelling of a classic fantasy folk tale with Arthurian roots - complete with questions and resources for book clubs, teachers and homeschool.
