Twins Eddie and Izzie love animals. They want to look after ALL the school pets in the holidays - but the only one left is the grumpy lizard. The lizard cheers up once he goes home with them and eats food he likes - they name him after his favourite. Then Cornflake grows two bumps on his back, which gradually turn into wings - He's really a dragon! The twins know they have to keep such a rare animal secret, but it's hard in a small flat, especially when Cornflake starts breathing fire. When a man turns up asking awkward questions, they really start to worry. How can they keep Cornflake safe?
Love love dragons. This little story is wonderful. The twins get to take the Library Lizard home for the summer holidays. But they run into a few problems...the neighbour threatening to report them for having a pet, though she doesn’t really know that they do...the lizard not acting at all what they thought it would, especially preferring cornflakes to lizard food...and someone suspicious who is lurking round the neighbourhood asking questions. I will have to look out for the next in the series!
