Book details
Viola Doyle, or an Unconventional Gift
Description
Riding her bicycle at a speed no proper young woman would attempt, letting her hair fly free, conversing with statues of long-dead heroines-these are all par for the course for Viola Doyle, much to her mother's chagrin. Keeping her newfound magical pin safe from those who would use it to unsavory ends and dealing with a handsome young historian takes quite a bit more effort. And then, of course, there is the dragon... To save herself and those she loves, it is up to Viola to become her own heroine, or suffer a terrible fate...
