Congratulations Carole!

On Wednesday it was announced that Garden of the Purple Dragon, part of the Dragonkeeper series, won the KOALA Award for Older Readers!

Ancient China, Han Dynasty. Ping thinks she is safe hiding in the shadow of the Tai Shan mountains. Here she struggles to care for Kai, the baby dragon she is responsible for. But even in her remote mountain hideout, Ping’s enemies find her. It is Kai they want.

Who can Ping trust? It is impossible to distinguish friend from foe. The easy road beckons. Will they find sanctuary in the Garden of the Purple Dragon? Will Ping embrace her true destiny?

This much loved (and awarded) series is loved by readers all over the world and is available now.
