Rascal's Shadow

In this 15th book of the series Rascal is scared of a scary shadow. All the dragons are scared of scary shadows! But Rascal finds a way to let the light in. In Ben’s world, dragons exist like dogs and fulfill all the doggy functions with dragon overlays like having two heads or being able to fly and breathe fire. These peculiarities go unremarked. Everything else in the world is normal (or as normal as Paul Jennings ever gets, let’s face it). The text makes use of repetition, phonically regular words and building on meaning to aid ease of reading in these early chapter books.
