Illustrated by Bob Lea.

Once upon a time a boy called Ben met a stray dragon called Rascal, and a series of books was born. In Ben and Rascal's world, dragons are perfectly normal, and behave a lot like dogs do in our world, although dragons do fly, and Rascal's way of flying is unique, even for a dragon (see in particular Rascal Takes Off and Rascal and the Hot Air Balloon).

In this fourteenth book of the series, Rascal runs away not once, but twice, in a heartwarming adventure with a lovely, big surprise ending.

RRP: $9.95
