A girl with too many questions. A dragon with too many regrets. A village built on lies. Twelve-year-old Lilly Westwood never believed the bedtime stories. Not the ones about monsters, and certainly not the ones about dragons. But when she stumbles into a cave full of bones and finds a wounded, sarcastic, ancient dragon who should've died a century ago... everything changes.
His name is Morbrak the Terrible-wounded, bitter, and definitely not looking for company. But Lilly has questions, and Morbrak has answers. Together, they uncover a forgotten war, a buried history, and a silent invasion happening right under the village's nose.
As shadows stretch and mirrors begin to lie, Lilly must decide how far she's willing to go to protect a creature everyone fears-and expose the truth the world burned to forget.
Heartfelt, hilarious, and wildly original, Lilly and the Last Terrible Dragon is a middle-grade fantasy for readers who like their heroines clever, their monsters complicated, and their myths very much alive.
