This award winning children’s novel is the second book in Carole Wilkinson’s Dragon Keeper series, and it is published by Black Dog Books. Also the book’s ISBN is 9781742030609 and Carole’s setting for this story is in Ancient China in the Han Dynasty. The story is also about a slave girl called Ping who had been appointed as the Imperial Dragon Keeper by the Imperial Emperor Liu Che but as she helped the old dragon called Long Danzi to escape Ping knows that the penalty for doing so is death.

So she tries to avoid being captured but she didn’t just help Danzi to escape so that he could go to the Isle of the Blest as she also had a dragon stone which is now hatched. And the young dragon is called Long Kai Duan or the short version of his name is Kai and he is in her care. She also learnt things about dragons from Danzi. But what he tells her isn’t always clear at the time and I guess that she sometimes feels like she is an inadequate dragon keeper. But she still has a lot to learn and perhaps Danzi didn’t tell her everything as she needs to find them out herself in her own time and in her own way.
