The Dragonsitter in the Land of the Dragons

In the tenth Dragonsitter book, things take a turn for the adventurous when Eddie travels with his uncle Morton to Mongolia to be the first people in centuries to see the Great Dragon Battle Ceremony. But wild dragons are not so nearly friendly as pet ones . . .

Eddie has travelled with his uncle Morton to Mongolia, in hope of being one of the few to watch the Great Dragon Battle Ceremony. But wild dragons are not nearly so friendly as pet ones, and the inhospitable mountains are a dangerous place to be stuck with nothing but a pile of chocolate bars. Meanwhile, back at home, Mum can't quite believe her son has really run off to Mongolia, and now she has been left with the tricky task of dragonsitting . . .

Told in emails between Eddie and his mum, The Dragonsitter in the Land of the Dragons is an extra action-packed tale of misunderstandings, monsters and Mars bars.
