A welcome return for Fergal, a little dragon who experiences big, complicated and familiar emotions!
Fergal is excited that Elspeth, his friend from summer camp, is coming to visit so that they can go to the school fair together. But then, the excitement turns to anxiety. Fergal is fretting!
What if Elspeth doesn’t fit in with his other friends? What if Elspeth fits in so well that she likes his friends more than him? What if playing with Elspeth isn't fun anymore?
Mum and Dad give Fergal loads of tips on how to manage his anxiety. When Elspeth arrives it turns out that she is shy about meeting too! Fortunately, both soon realise how happily they can play together.
In the latest story in the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted series, Fergal learns how to deal with his anxiety about his friend coming to stay with one very simple tip . . . Fergal's friend Elspeth is coming to stay, and he is very excited . . . but there's a problem. He hasn't been able to see her in such a long time, so what if it's not the same?
