Synopsis

What if the sky was the SCARIEST place of all?

Every dragon in the valley can fly. Every dragon flaps their wings and soars into the wide blue sky without a second thought. Every dragon… except Finley.

Finley’s wings are perfectly fine. The sky is perfectly fine. It’s the bit in between — that terrifying step off the edge — that sends him running back to solid ground every single time.

But when a huge ancient dragon named Coach Crag arrives with a patient smile and a very long list of his own crashes, and tiny fierce Pip whispers her own secret number of falls, Finley begins to wonder: what if falling isn’t the worst thing? What if the worst thing is never trying at all?
