Hattie B, Magical Vet: The Dragon's Song (Book 1)

Summary

Hattie B, Magical Vet: The Dragon's Song (Book 1), is the first in a brand new magical series for girls.

Discover a secret world of fairy-tale creatures!

On her tenth birthday, Hattie B is swept into the magical Kingdom of Bellua where she meets a little pink dragon who needs her help.

Evil King Ivar of the Imps has stolen the dragon's magical voice and Hattie is the only one who can help her get it back.

Hattie B is inspired by a little girl called Harriet, who once asked 'where do unicorns and dragons go when they're unwell?' Her mum, Lindsay Taylor, and their friend, Suzanne Smith thought long and hard and suddenly realised - a magical vet of course! With this twinkle of an idea they met the writer Claire Baker and together they created the Kingdom of Bellua - and the pen name Claire Taylor-Smith.
