Kirkus Review of Dragonfly by Alice McLerran - Therese's suggestion:

- "... three children who bring home a dragon's egg, the grownups are, for once, co-conspirators rather than obstacles. The dragonling that hatches on Jason's little sister Rose's bed doesn't stay a secret for long-but, amazingly, not only are Mom and Dad enchanted with Drac, so are local handyman "Flash" Martin and nosy librarian Amelia Binns. Everyone willingly puts heads together to figure out how to feed and care for Drac, and, most important, to keep her out of the public eye; tasks complicated considerably by Drac's ability to fly, spit flames, and, shedding skins as she goes, grow like a weed. (...) Drac reaches maturity, repays her extended family both with untold wealth-the scales on all those shed skins turn out to be pure gold ..."

One description of Panther by Martin Booth - Ayshe's suggestion - on Goodreads:

- "Two children on a family caravan holiday on the edge of Dartmoor see something black hunting sheep. Convinced it's a panther, they set off to track it across the moors.

The children find the panther and her cubs but decide to keep their existence a secret from the public, who they know will want them hunted, captured and destroyed."
- There are different cover images.

Description of the book:

- "... Set in turn-of-the-century San Francisco, whose foggy, gaslit streets still echo with the sounds of horsedrawn carriages (...) plucky, independent heroine (...) buys a train ticket to San Francisco to escape her stepmother's meddlesome matchmaking and embark on a career as an independent "type-writer" (...) strangely disturbed and wildly frightened Edgar Allan Partridge, whose phantasmagoric autobiographical manuscript sends her on a mission of discovery up the California coast. ..."
