<b>There are no witches, no dragons and no secrets in Quill, so how can Brim be trapped in the School for Prevention of Witches with Rose, a royal dragon with an injured foot, and a large mystery to untangle? A delightfully pleasing whimsical fantasy adventure with more knots and snarls than a skein of wool, suitable for readers who love the books of Cressida Cowell or Katrina Nannestad. </b><br/><br/><i>Here are the three Laws of Quill, carved in stone outside every town hall, and learnt by every schoolchild:</i><br/><br/><i><b>There shall be No Witches.</b></i><br/><i><b>There shall be No Dragons.</b></i><br/><i><b>There shall be NO SECRETS.</b></i><br/><br/>Ten-year-old Brim has been sent to the Quillian School for Prevention of Witches, but she's sure it's a mistake. It's true that she has tiny feathers sprouting from her elbows, and that she's the only person who remembers the odd-looking calf that has been following her. But she is most definitely Not a Witch.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Queen Rose of Hallow has received reports of a secret weapon in the mountains of Quill, and goes to investigate. Alone. Luckily, she's not just a twelve-year-old girl with red hair and a wilful nature. She is also a dragon.<br/><br/>Before long, Rose and Brim find themselves trapped in Quill, in the worst possible danger.
