Spike Carbuncle and the Truly Enormous Egg

by Karen Wallace, Helen Flook (Illustrator)

Overview

Set in the Viking world of long boats, looting and grand adventure,
The Goose Pimple Bay Sagas relate the hilarious tales of a noble family
with a difference.

Spike Carbuncle is sick of being second in command to his weedy
brother. So, when Spike's wife, Fangtrude, comes across a dragon's egg,
together they formulate a plan to get rid of Whiff Erik, once and for
all. There's just one hitch - dragon training isn't as easy as it
sounds. What do you do when your dragon is terrible at breathing fire
and prefers eating onions to live goats?
