The Baby Dragon Cafe (The Baby Dragon series, Book 1) A. T. Qureshi 9780008727666

The perfect cosy fantasy read for fans of Legends and Lattes and Assistant to the Villain!

When Saphira opened up her cafe for baby dragons and their humans, she wasn't expecting it to be so difficult to keep the fires burning. It turns out, young dragons are not the best magical animals to keep in a cafe, and replacing all that burnt furniture is costing Saphira more than she can afford from selling dragon-roasted coffee.

Aiden is a local gardener, and local heart-throb, more interested in his plants than actually spending time with his disobedient baby dragon. When Aiden walks into Saphira's cafe, he has a genius idea - he'll ask Saphira to train his baby dragon, and he'll pay her enough to keep the cafe afloat.

Saphira's happy-go-lucky attitude doesn't seem to do anything but irritate the grumpy-but-gorgeous Aiden, except that everywhere she goes, she finds him there. But can this dragon cafe owner turn her fortunes around, and maybe find love along the way?

A. T. Qureshi is a Pakistani, Muslim American who adores words. She is the award-winning author of YA fantasy novel, The Lady or the Lion and its sequel.

Aamna grew up on Long Island, New York, in a very loud household, surrounded by English (for school), Urdu (for conversation), and Punjabi (for emotion). Much of her childhood was spent being grounded for reading past her bed-time, writing stories in the backs of her notebooks, and being scolded by teachers for passing chapters under the tables. Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.

When she's not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitalize her roots. She also loves baking complicated desserts, drinking fancy teas and coffees, watching sappy rom-coms, and going for walks about the estate (her backyard). She currently lives in New York.
