I hope you're happy @struan-murray.bsky.social! My 9 year old is bereft having finished Dragonborn because the next instalment isn't out yet! He adores it and now can't choose his next book, as he thinks nothing will compare! 😂 How long until he can get his hands on part two?!

The brilliant DragonBorn by @struan-murray.bsky.social is compelling, jawdropping and thoroughly original! This is not a dragon story of old, no taming or riding-Alex Evans our heroine does not breed dragons-she IS the dragon! @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/d...

Dragonborn is out TODAY! Soaring off to bookshops across the country and into the hands of young readers. It is, I think, the very best book I've written, and I'm so excited to see it fly. Farewell little dragon, safe travels! X

Started reading this ages ago but then had “The Call.” Finally got back to it and WOW! “Dragonborn” by @struan-murray.bsky.social is an utterly fantastic start to a new series. Loved the hidden world next to ours. Truly epic story-telling and Struan is the master of the “what!?!” twist. Loved it!

Even if it hadn’t arrived wrapped up like a present, I’d’ve been thrilled to receive a proof of #Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social, one of my most-anticipated reads of the year. Out 01/05, the most enormous thanks go to Katy @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social 🐲

Book wrapped in paper with a scale-like pattern on it.

The book, its press release and a map of the fictional island of Skralla. The book’s cover shows a cross-looking girl with her hair waving in the wind standing in front of a dragon with glowing golden eyes.

My new MG whodunnit gets announced TOMORROW but I can give you a clue right now; one of the two characters below is dead by the end of the first chapter. #KidLit #KidLitUK

A classic illustration of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf in the forest. The wolf wears clothes and a hat and leans on a cane, looking rather rakish.

I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Orphans of the Tide is an original and compelling start to a fantasy series, written by @struan-murray.bsky.social and beautifully illustrated by Manuel Sumberac.

Struan Murray’s book: Orphans of the Tide. Illustrated by Manuel Sumberac. Cover design shows the backs of two girls and a boy in silhouette. They are standing on a floating door, overlooking the last city on Earth, which is mostly submerged in the sea.
