(2) 1-3 Dragons of Wayward Crescent series. Illustrated by Adam Stower. Lucy Pennykettle is afraid of monsters, so her artist mother makes her a guard dragon. D'Lacey creates a magical world that is firmly grounded in the real one. There are cell phones, grouchy neighbors, and a dandy mystery that readers will be able to solve, thanks to the well-placed black-and-white illustrations.
