Reseña del libro "Dragon Skin (en Inglés)"
Pip never wants to be at home nowadays. There's no laughter anymore and her mum isn't happy. She spends most of her time alone, daydreaming and digging for treasure by the dirty creek. But one night, Pip finds something incredible - a dragon. Tiny, possibly dying, but definitely a dragon.
She quickly realises that dragons don't come with instructions: what do you feed a dragon? Where could it have come from? And how can Pip cope with the enormous changes this creature will bring into her life? Full of enchanting magic and poignant truths, Dragon Skin is a moving story of friendship, family and finding a way to fly.
My favourite book of the year so far (and one of last year's too) . I adored Lenny's Book of Everything but Karen Foxlee has outdone herself with this exceptionally rare and tender work of magical brilliance. The dragon is called Little Fella and he will set your heart on fire - Piers Torday
I'm in love with this book. Dragon Skin is surprising, beautiful, unique. The characters are wonderfully drawn - tough but vulnerable, hurt but hopeful, damaged but strong. They've lodged themselves in my heart forever - Katrina Nannestad, award-winning author of We Are Wolves
Dragon Skin is a book to make us believe in mysterious openings and infinite possibilities. It reminds us that love is what we need to save things - Edwina Wyatt, award-winning author of The Secrets of Magnolia Moon
I loved this story. It's a delicate, heartwarming tale of friendship, healing and hope - Bren MacDibble, award-winning author of How to Bee

Karen Foxlee has a gift for portraying vulnerable child protagonists. Her latest is anchored by a fantasy that invokes the sort of nurturing environment reality fails to provide - Sydney Morning Herald
Foxlee doesn't flinch at dark themes and handles them with a light touch appropriate for readers aged 10 to 14. The intimations of domestic violence in the book lend contrast and provide a wrenching backdrop, to the joys and consuming demands of Pip's adventure - The Age
