The book called Fire Star is the third book in Chris d’Lacey’s popular Dragon Series and this book was first published in Great Britian 2005, and then it was first published in the paperback version in 2006 by Orchard Books again and the book’s ISBN is 978 1 84362 522 3.

I also found the Fire Star book very interesting to read as it wasn’t just set in the Artic but it also featured the Pennykettles who stayed at their house with the clay dragons in Scrubbley Kent. But both Lucy and her mother Liz were aware that strange things were happening. For instance, Liz recognised the ink marks on the book contract that her boarder David Rain signed: as she thought that the marks on the paper are the same marks that her aunt made on Zanna’s arm. And so Liz became wary of it and as she didn’t trust her aunt she didn’t post the contract to the publisher’s. However as Lucy had a letter to post herself she discovers that her mother hadn’t posted David’s contract for him yet.

And this wasn’t because Lucy was snooping but she found it by chance as Liz also asked Lucy to post letters for her too.

Also Gretel had a hand in Lucy finding the unposted signed contract, as this clay dragon was very aware that Liz hadn’t posted the contract too. And as she was unaware of her mother’s suspicions of their aunt at the time Lucy posted the contract to David’s publishers, and then Lucy confronted her mother about it as she discovered that her mum was lying.

As Liz made out that she posted the contract when really she hadn’t.

Lucy also thought that it was an awful thing that her mum did though her mother explains why, then one of David’s dragons called G’reth disappears, and after a phone call from Liz David then returns to her house in Scrubbley after hearing that Gwilanna had kidnapped Lucy, but then that’s not all as after he returned David guesses where Gwilanna had taken Lucy and then there’s more unexplainable things happening as David’s girlfriend who is Zanna disappears too as she is still at the Artic. Meanwhile as all this is happening David still has a book to write.
