The Dragon in the Library (Kit the Wizard #1)

by Louie Stowell (Author) Davide Ortu (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Kit the Wizard

In a fast-paced and funny adventure, Kit must use the magic of books to save the library--and its resident dragon--from a power-hungry tycoon. Kit Spencer can't stand reading. She'd rather be outside playing and getting muddy than stuck inside with a book. But when her best friends, Josh and Alita, drag her to the local library, Kit makes an incredible discovery: she's a wizard--and books are the key to her abilities.

Unfortunately, a greedy businessman wants to tear down the beloved library, destroying all its magic. To make matters worse, there's a sleeping dragon hidden there, and if she's awakened, her wild power will wreak havoc. With the help of a friendly dragon-dog hybrid named Dogon, Kit and her companions will have to find a way to save the dragon in the library--and maybe the world!

A humorous romp full of library enchantment, with a diverse cast of characters and dynamic illustrations.

Starred Review
Three friends fight an evil developer who wants to tear down the magical library. . .Playful illustrations complement the witty dialogue, dryly ironic narrative voice, and comical villainy. Joyful and funny. 

Review quotes



Louie Stowell
Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science, but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. The author of the Kit the Wizard series, she was inspired by her research into Norse myths to write Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, which became a number-one UK bestseller, and its sequel, Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; their dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
