Luma and the Hiccupping Dragon: Heart-warming stories of magic, mischief and dragons

Description

Two more stories about Luma and her cheeky pet dragon. Timir has the hiccups. Nothing seems to stop them. Small bursts of flame keep bursting from his nostrils and causing mayhem everywhere they hit. Luma is sure it has something to do with the flame charm on her bracelet - but has no idea what. It's time to find out! And that's not the only discovery to be made. When practising for a dog show in the garden Timir realises something very unexpected: he can fly. But Luma feels worried - what if Timir flies away and never comes back? Is she brave enough to trust Timir and let him spread his wings?
