Every year, quite a number of new children’s and young adult books are published, which makes it hard to keep track and separate the wheat from the chaff. But, there are of course, always some works that stand out from the crowd and “There are no dragons in this book”, which was nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize, is definitely one of them.
This hole in the wall is supposed to have been caused by a dragon? And the sparks and chaos in the nursery as well? That can’t be, because there are definitely no dragons in this book! Certainly not…
…or are there?
