Extract from Dragonracers by Peter Bunzl, illustrated by Lia Visirin.
Twins Kitty and Harris Hawk have grown up at the airfield where their father works as an engineer . Kitty in particular is obsessed with the idea of becoming an aeronaut but her father believes a woman's place is firmly on the ground.
When the twins discover a strange and unusually large egg from which a dragon hatches, little do they imagine that this is the first step on a journey that will see them taking to the skies and competing in the first long-distance air race.
Can they win the huge prize that's at stake and will their daring adventure lead their father to change his mind about Kitty's future?
