Who wouldn't pick up a book with dragons on the cover? From the opening lines about a mystery house through to a magical baptism on the most magical night of the year this is a captivating rich read which makes good use of language to paint a picture of a house I'd love to visit. Each chapter is short but so linked to the previous one that you just want to keep reading. Can't wait to find out how this continues, hopefully as the baby grows up and finds his magical form.
