About this ebook
A new, laugh-out-loud series from the author and illustrator of Saurus Street.
When nine-year-old Billy Fincher gets bitten by a lizard at his local pet shop, strange things start to happen . . .
His fingernails turn into claws, his skin becomes green and he starts breathing fire. Billy can’t hide it any longer – he’s turning into a dragon.
And when his parents decide to sell him to the zoo, Billy has to make a decision. Find a way to change back, or lose his family forever.
Being a dragon is more complicated than it sounds!

He likes to write books that are two parts funny, three parts exciting and one part educational, with a dollop of fantastical thrown in. He first started making up stories for his two young sons when they were living by the beach in Tasmania, and 17 published books later, he’s still going strong!
Nick has 4 series of books on the shelves, all for children aged 6 to 10. Saurus Street, which is about time travelling dinosaurs; Billy is a Dragon, which is about shape-shifting were-beasts; Samurai vs Ninja, which is about shuriken-filled battles; and the ‘How To’ series, which is about kids getting horribly lost in history.
