Dragonsdale and Dragonsdale: Riding the Storm
About Dragonsdale
Salamanda Drake is a dragon rider from the Isles of Bresal. As Bresal is hidden from our world by the Veil, an impenetrable curtain of mist, Salamanda needed a translator for her stories! Well, we can reveal that the translators of these two books are THE 2 STEVES!
Dragonsdale is a riding school. However, people in Bresal don’t ride horses – they ride dragons! The stories are based around Cara and Skydancer – her favourite dragon.
In Riding the Storm, new rivalries emerge within the close-knit community of Dragonsdale, leading to heartache and danger as Cara’s loyalty and courage are tested to the utmost.
We hope you enjoy the books!
ON THE ROAD IN:
May
What a busy month! We began the month visiting schools in Spain with Bookbox International – a brilliant bookfair company run by Gary. He took us to: Oak House School and St Paul’s School in Barcelona, then drove us down the coast to Lady Elizabeth School Javea and the British School of Alicante. We had a great time in the schools, despite the rain! (The rain in Spain falls mainly on us!).
Back in the (sunny) UK we had a half day in The Wakeman School and Belvidere School in Shrewsbury. Thanks to Pam for organising a fun day! Then it was a writing workshop in a beautiful stately house in Northants – Holdenby Hall was an amazing building and we had a great set of year 5 boys to work with.
After that it was our annual pilgrimage to Ridgeway School near Plymouth – thanks to Angie and the usual suspects for a great time! We also combined the visit with a visit to West park School and two days at St Cuthbert Mayne School in Torquay. We had a wonderful surprise for us waiting – a fantastic cake in the shape of a dragon made by Chloe Pope and Dylan Whitty. It was chocolately and minty and delicious! BIG thanks to you two talented chefs! Steve S then had an afternoon all alone in Brooke Weston CTC in Corby – thank goodness a whole bunch of year 7 and 8 students kept him company! Many thanks to all who organised visits and looked after us so admirably.
We did manage to find time to spend a couple of days in Wreake Valley College in Leicestershire, where we worked with a talented bunch of writers to produce an anthology of stories – looking forward to seeing the finished book! We also spent a morning at Earlham High school in Norfolk and a fun afternoon with the Eastern Group of the YLG. Many thanks to those who organized our visits and kept us fed and watered! |
