Kate says “I don’t say this lightly, but reading this book felt like reading my first Roald Dahl book or the first Harry Potter book…This book is filled with adventure and wonder and compassion. I can’t wait to introduce kids to this world. And look at this gorgeous book. What kid won’t be drawn to it?!”

About The Last Dragon House: “Debut author Morris mixes tongue-in-cheek humor, subtle social commentary, and beguiling fantasy adventure vibes to present a thoughtful series opener.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Siblings Olly and Jenny Atwood have never met a dragon—Olly doesn’t even think they’re real. But when the strange and brilliant Dr. Lady Abernathy offers Olly a job at her mysterious house, the Atwoods learn that these incredible beasts are very much alive—and they need help.

Dragons have been forced into hiding, and as caretakers of the Dragon House, Dr. Lady and Olly are the only protectors these magnificent creatures have left. But when evil forces conspire to poison Dr. Lady, Olly and his dragon friends find themselves locked in a race against time, political conspiracies…and one very large corgi.

Can Olly recover the antidote before it’s too late? And can Jenny harness her stirring powers to keep Dr. Lady alive until then? Or could this be the end of the Dragon House—and dragons—as they know it?

The Last Dragon House is a showstopping novel full of fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure and endearingly flawed characters. It’s also about how our seemingly impossible problems will ultimately be solved: Not by waiting for a Chosen One, but by banding together and sharing our unique strengths. Another word for those strengths? Magic.
