Rory is an unusual sort of dragon – he would rather hide than go hunting and he would far rather eat a tasty bicycle than a juicy princess.
In this first book in the Snack Dragon series, Rory bites off more than he can chew when he steals a bike and accidentally kidnaps the princess who owns it. Now both their kingdoms are in danger and they must team up to save them - but what hope do they have, when they can’t even agree on what (or who) is for lunch?
A magical adventure story for children aged 6+, with themes of resilience, teamwork and sustainability.
Rory And The Snack Dragons is the first book in a brand new chapter book series for 6 to 9 year-olds. This funny, magical story from debut author Louisa MacDougall is about about the unlikely friendship between Rory, a dragon outcast who likes to eat bicycles, and Flora, a plucky princess who loves to ride them.
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.
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.
This is Louisa's debut chapter book.
