A hard trial for TamDragon Knights Book 2

Jo Salmson, illustrated by Åsa Ekström

In the first book, poor, orphaned Tam heard a voice, calling him to come to the city. And the voice he heard belonged to no less than one of the dragons, Sky.

In this second title Sky the dragon has chosen Tam as his dragon servant, despite the fact that he is only a beggar boy. Tam and Sky are able to communicate with each other in the old way, through thoughts, something that Sky specifically forbids Tam from telling anyone. According to Sky, Tam is to be the new Dragon Knight, but first of all he must survive the great trial of the winter. If only the other children weren’t so horrible to him! Tam feels more and more alone. Will he get through the great trial?
