The Awakening Storm

Grace’s father, Nate, told her stories of dragons from Chinese legend. They included people like her, ‘half-breed’ Chinese, who were heroic characters of strength. Grace absorbed every story, so that when she and her mother join her stepfather in Hong Kong, her late father is held precious in her core.

What’s more, when an ancient, blue-eyed market trader pushes an egg into her hand, Grace hears the term used to describe her again. She recognises it from her father’s words. What does this egg have to do with her? Then again, what happens when the egg hatches into a blue dragon?

it seems the new friends she makes at her new school form into a quick, assertive band. They are aware that there is something charged about this dragon, and then Grace. What’s more, they’re aware that Grace and her dragon, Nate, are under threat, and seek to escape and then to work out what is happening. How does it connect to the old woman, and then Grace’s father’s stories? What’s more, what is it about precious stones, The Awakening Storm, and then the state of the art, top secret watch gifted to Grace by Hank, her stepfather? Finally, how does this relate to Grace’s father’s death…
