Rory the dragon and his best friend Flora share a love of flying and
bicycles, so they are shocked when they discover a mountain of
discarded bikes, and appalled when they realise that rust from that
mountain is running into the dragon clan's drinking and gardening
water.
More and more children start discarding their old, sturdy bikes in
favour of brightly-coloured, plastic, inflatable, single-use
replacements which look great (they even sort-of fly) but pop easily
and cause injuries on impact - facts which are of no concern to
Evilyn the Entrepreneur.
It's up to Rory and Flora to put an end to Evilyn's schemes and repair
and recycle all the damaged old bikes, before anyone gets seriously
hurt.
A magical adventure story for children aged 6+, with themes of
resilience, teamwork and sustainability.
Louisa is a community worker who lives with her
husband and three daughters on the windswept Isle of
Harris in the Outer Hebrides - where the mist and
mountains make it easy to imagine dragons at every turn.
Louisa's writing was shortlisted for the Kelpies Prize in
2022 and the Searchlight Prize in 2023.
Her first book, Rory and the Snack Dragons originally
started life as a picture book text which won the Scottish
Association of Writers picture book text award in 2022,
but it was apparent that a much bigger adventure of
dragons, princesses and tasty treats awaited the reader.
