Ignis by Gina Wilson

This book is one of my Modern Fantasy books.

This book is about a dragon, Ignis, that doesn't feel like a dragon because he does not have his fire like all the other dragons. Ignis decides to take a trip to see if he can find his fire. On his way he encounters many different animals that all tell him that he is a dragon, his fire is just within him. On his journey he meets a young girl. He spends a week with this girl and learns a lot about himself. After leaving the young girl, he climbs a volcano. A flare from the volcano gets stuck in this throat and leads to him finding his fire. He returns to his home and now feels like a real dragon, since he is like all the other dragons. I would use this in my class to explain to children that just because they develop slower than the rest of their friends, doesn't make them any less of the same as they are.
