The Silver Dragon’s Quest by Zoe Topping

   ‘The one coloured Silver will be your downfall...’
Thus reads the ancient prophecy that starts the Silver Dragon on his chosen path of destiny. The Silver Dragon, Robert Alexander the Third, known to all as Robbie, decides to defy tradition, leave his village and go searching for the legendary Great Shining Dragon.  Unbeknownst to him, his path will lead him to three ferocious Red Dragons, each of whom he must somehow overcome to fulfil his Quest.
As the story unfolds, Robbie – in the company of the audacious, educated mouse, Wilberforce Abercrombie the 27th – discovers his own extraordinary personal powers well as the true meaning of love and friendship.
This exciting adventure story of self discovery is a fable that will appeal to all ages.

Richard’s Story by Kathleen Gomm

 

Richard was deprived of oxygen at birth and when he didn’t develop normally, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, unlikely ever to use his limbs or to speak. His parents were appalled when doctors told them he was not of normal intelligence and that they should put him into a home, forget him and start their family again.
They refused to accept it and this inspiring book by this mother, describes their heroic struggle against all odds to help him to learn to read, write and communicate with the help of a computer, operated by a pointer strapped to his head. He gained a place at grammar school and a university education at York, culminating in a PhD from the University of Wales at Swansea.  He also wrote two books of poems which expressed his feelings and his care for others and learned to paint.
Despite his enormous difficulties and life in a wheelchair, he was able to accept and give a great deal of love. The family greatly valued Richard and later a sister, Debbie, arrived and then a brother, Michael. Now, it is hoped that this amazing story of faith, courage and love, will bring encouragement to others who may be in a similar position.
