by Bruce Coville
An uncontested classic to be sure, 'Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher' will always have a place on my shelf. It has some inconsistencies though that bother me as an adult reader.First of all, alone out of the 'Magic Shop' books' protagonists (they don't have to be read in order or together or anything...
Lovely little story featuring a rather marvellous vetinary doctor/father figure who comes out with some great philosophical lines.
This book, now that I'm older, never fails to make me cry. Is also the reason that I have a weird obsession with dragons.
