Derek has been dreading his twelfth birthday. That’s the day when the King will send him on a quest. Derek would much rather stay home and read his favourite book of riddles. At least it won’t be a dangerous quest – surely the King wouldn’t send Derek to face a dragon! Would he?

This pack contains 6 copies of Derek, the Dragon and the Big Book of Riddles Vol. 2 for use in small group teaching.
