*I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review*
Due to issues with downloading I wasn’t able to read this in time for the release, which is why this review is so late.
This is another adorable story which is gorgeously illustrated. The story follows Lana who returns to her home town with her dad after to help her aunt and the town to rebuild after a storm. It is here that she rescues an Aquicorn and learns that they are in danger due to the overfishing that the town is doing.
Overall, I adored this and loved the message of how we are negatively impacting on our oceans and how we can all be doing more to protect them. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.

A charming all-ages book that follows the story of Greta, a blacksmith apprentice, and the people she meets as she becomes entwined in the enchanting world of tea dragons.

This was my favourite of Katie O’Neil’s books mostly because dragons are my weakness and teas dragons are the most adorable creatures I have ever seen. Again the illustrations within this book are gorgeous and is such a heart warming read. this follows Greta who is giving the change to learn the art of caring for tea dragons and the friends she meets along the way.
Overall, I absolutely loved this and want a tea dragon of my own. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars.
