Firerose

by Susan Jeschke

Zora, a fortuneteller with a talking cat, finds a baby girl with a dragon tail on her doorstep. Firerose needs help feeling happy with her tail and then without it. Even though Firerose saves Zora from a shark with her tail and fire, she isn't allowed in school. They travel to Dragon City and give the tail to a dragon born without one, so Firerose can go on with life as a person. Realistic black and white drawings throughout.
