The Tower - John Scott Price

When the five children spot the mysterious tower in a meadow near their house, they have little idea of the fantasy adventure, alive with dragons and magic, that awaits them beyond its walls. Eager to investigate, they try knocking on the two doors that lead into it, but their adventure exploration comes to a premature end when the door refuses to open. But for the children fantasy is closer than they think. Undeterred, they seek out the advice of the old groundskeeper, Oh, to ask him what he knows about the magic faraway tower in their garden, with its knockers shaped like dragons and dragon fire. The answers Oh gives are cryptic, but they lead the children and the supernatural creatures following them into amazing adventures where dragons and magic act as guides. For the children fantasy adventure begins when they open the door to the tower. And it doesn't end. They are led one at a time - the eldest to the youngest - to their own worlds of magic faraway from their everyday lives, where they are guided by dragon fire to an adventure exploration of their wildest dreams and greatest hopes. Set against a backdrop of what it means to grow up and follow your dreams, 'The Tower' tells a heart-warming tale of how important it is to not lose sight of your childhood self.
