Jonathan and His Dragon

Jonathan's life is very much like that of his friends and class-mates, until his family breaks up and he has to deal with problems far too big for him. He needs help, and it comes in the form of a dragon with magic powers, who is able to make himself invisible and to change his form. This is a story is for grown- ups too, particularly valuable during or after a crisis such as divorce or a death in the family. It increases the adult reader's understanding, so that it becomes easier to cope with traumatic situations. This book also deals very sensitively with questions of dying and death. As Jonathan begins to see death as a transformation, he understands the dragon's words about the soul and the spirit more easily - after all, he knows much about transformations already.
