Frank Cammuso – författare

It's the classic ugly duckling tale-but this time around, the little one turns out not to be a swan, but a dragon. And when their duckling siblings find themselves in trouble, it's our little fire-breathing friend who saves the day. Whereas Hans Christian Andersen's original is synonymous with inner beauty, Frank Cammuso's loving update turns it into a parable of inner strength.

Young witch Salem Hyde is stubborn, impulsive and loves flying. Whammy is nervous, careful and loves staying on the ground. Somehow, though, they're friends. This book continues the series and will contain more adventures (and spells gone awry!) and laughs.
