Dragon Moon

Agnes-Mary Brooke

My name is Dragon Moon, and I am married to a crayfish!

The story of a tiny, beautiful creature who appears to an ill boy, Diarmid, living in an old house above the cliffs of a rocky coast, begins with a plaintive cry for help. Dragon Moon, next in succession in her own world, has been sent to earth by the Older Others to teach her a lesson in humility, and is particularly indignant when she is not taken seriously.

This science-fiction fantasy story for intermediate readers is structured around the scientific puzzles which must be solved in very short time if she is to succeed in returning to her own world. With the help of his eccentric Great-uncle Bernard, who refuses to allow him to feel sorry for himself, Diarmid works against time - and fights his own feelings of inadequacy and despair - to find a path home for Dragon Moon, who leaves him an unexpected legacy.

"I sat down to read a chapter while I had my lunch and got totally engrossed and gobbled it (Dragon Moon) all up in one go!  I loved it.  Such a strong picture you drew of the boy, the place, Bernard  - and Dragon Moon was beautiful!  I loved the plot, also the insights into Bernard.  In fact, I just loved it!"
