The wonderful appeal of this second book in the Trouble series comes from the observations of feisty, red-haired narrator Georgia. She’s such a believable character, peppering her story with witty comments and humour. You can read my full review at http://readingtime.com.au/trouble-mis...

In fairness this rating was by Miss 11 who enjoyed the mystery and the really cool antics of the dragon but felt (in spite of her gender and age) that there was too much girl speak. Sounds like a private reading is in order for me to comment further, however overall a breezy, spirited read that she enjoyed flying through - like the dragon, Trouble.
Update on this review: I have now been introduced to Trouble and have read Whittle's latest as well, Trouble and the New Kid, which is not yet listed on GR. It earns a satisfying 4 / 5 stars for the the breezy conversational tone and frequent injections of humour Whittle uses to guide us along a story about the new kid in class and the power of believing...in yourself. Trouble, the dragon is almost peripheral to the story here but also critical as the catalyst that prompts realisation. These are shortish, easy to handle chapter books with wide early primary aged reading appeal. The language is contemporary as is Whittle's obvious knowledge of school life and student thought. The only complaint I had about the New Kid was that the end came hurtling up rather more quickly than a dragon swooping from the clouds, unexpected and sudden. Otherwise these are jolly reads handsomely enriched by Stephen Michael King's (in the second two) cheeky illustrations.
