8. Miss Mary-Kate Martin’s Guide to Monsters: The Wrath of the Woolington Wyrm
Karen Foxlee & Freda Chiu

Rumour of the Woolington Wyrm is abound, and plans to develop the land seem to have disturbed and angered it. Cue Mary-Kate, curious and thoughtful, to find out what’s really going on.

This is so good, Rachael! Did you read Dragon Skin by Karen Foxlee? Was my book of the year (for any age) in 2021. Speaking of firmly planted in real world, with a tiny bit of magic. It's middle grade, completely emotionally wrenching, and the most stunning writing
