Bookroo's summary
In Lesser Scrump, books are forbidden, stolen by a dragon who hoards them. Brave Rosehilda defies fear, determined to confront the dragon and restore her village's joy of reading. Can she persuade the dragon that books are meant to be shared, not hoarded? Join Rosehilda on a daring quest that challenges perceptions and champions the power of stories. Will her courage and wit be enough to change the dragon's heart and bring books back to her people?
From the publisher
The town of Lesser Scrump has a rule: no books allowed! And it’s all because of a fearsome dragon, who comes in the night to steal every book and add it to her huge pile. Only Rosehilda says, “I’m not afraid!” and vows to challenge the creature who terrorizes her village. Will she be able to convince the dragon that books are for reading, not hoarding?
