"Dragon Skin" by Karen Foxlee tells the enchanting story of a young girl named a Dragon who navigates her way through grief and loss after her mother’s death. Living in a small town with her father, she struggles to connect with her new reality and find solace amid her pain. As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, Dragon encounters mythical elements that parallel her emotional struggles, ultimately leading her to confront her fears, embrace her memories, and seek healing. The narrative beautifully blends fantasy with poignant themes of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
