Reach for this book when your child is entering a new group and feels the need to prove they are the smartest or most capable person in the room. It is a perfect tool for children who use a 'know-it-all' persona as a shield against the vulnerability of being the new kid. The story follows Petra, a gifted new Dragon Master who initially refuses to listen to her peers or connect with her dragon, Zeno. As the plot unfolds, Petra's arrogance is challenged by a crisis involving the King's health. The book masterfully explores themes of teamwork, accountability, and the loneliness that comes with self-imposed isolation. Written for early elementary readers, it provides a safe, magical space to discuss why it is okay to not have all the answers and how true strength comes from collaboration rather than individual perfection.
