I’m Susie Day. I write inclusive, diverse children’s books about the real world we live in. (Plus the occasional dragon.)
Max Kowalski Didn’t Mean It
When Dad disappears, it’s up to Max to look after his three little sisters.
But trouble follows Max like a dog.
Max runs the family away to Snowdonia, north Wales, to hide in a friend’s old cottage. There he finds new friends, new questions, and an ancient Welsh legend – of a sleeping dragon, guarding a lake of gold.
Can Max save his family, and defeat a dragon too?
Lionhearted, witty, moving, truthful & brilliantly written.
