Opening sentence
Once upon a time, in a land far away, lived a dragon named Sparky, who'd lost his way.
The author, Megan, is a trained teacher with a degree in Science and Psychology. This is her first book and hopefully not her last.
The story begins in the manner of a traditional fairy tale and evolves into a tale of self discovery. While Sparky is looking to regain his confidence he meets many characters along the way who are over coming their own fears. By talking with each of them he develops a toolkit to reignite his confidence and self belief. This book acknowledges that we all lose our way sometimes and that we are not alone, so talking to others is important.
