Benji lives locked in an attic room upstairs. His body is misshapen and he is crippled, and we are told his mother loves him despite keeping him upstairs. I also thought that she left him at the fountain on purpose, and so was surprised to find that she was so upset about losing him. The dragon character was fine, but I remember feeling that the end was a bit too neat for me, like of course Thomas found him and of course Archibald was the Dragon.

Thank you to the author, for sending me an electronic copy to review.
