This is the perfect underdog tale in the world of a young dragon. Poor Murriel has wings that are too short to be a Keeper, according to the other dragons. Right as he begins to doubt himself, his friend Mazy steps forward to encourage him to carry on and forget about what the other dragons say. The Dragon King decides that Murriel must complete a difficult quest in order to prove himself. After an unexpected thief crossed Murriel's path, he had to stop him from stealing the King's jewels- and that he did! This was proof that he would make a great Keeper.The story speaks out to those who have been told that they cannot do something for one reason or another, shooting down their confidence. Stories like this can reassure a child that they can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough- a valuable lesson for everyone. This is a great story to read to your children, as well as a lesson to remind yourself of.
