Where Do I Belong?

Three shapes cross the sky above Thistlebeck, and the light on the snow goes dark and then light again.They are dragons. Real ones, grown ones, with wings like sails. And Ash, standing in the middle of the green, has never in his whole life seen anybody like himself before.He climbs to the ridge the next morning. What he finds there is everything he thought he wanted. Vaskarr teaches him how to fold his wings so they do not ache. She tells him his bent horn is not a fault, that she has known four dragons born with one, and that he is not a strange thing at all, only a common thing a long way from home.And then they try to teach him to fly, and his wings are too small, and they go up and he stays down.This is the book that takes away the easy answer. Ash finally meets his own kind and it does not solve him. What he works out instead is smaller and far more useful: that belonging is not about matching anybody. It is about being in the room where people know what your horn means.For children aged 4 to 8, followed by 20 pages of activities: sort fitting in from belonging, write a letter to somebody who moved away, and a page to finish the sentence I belong where...Read aloud for ages 4 to 5, read alone for ages 6 to 8Large 16 point text and a full colour illustration on every page20 pages of activities with a printed answer key, no apps and no linksThe closing book of the series, and still a complete standalone story
