An Evening with A. T. Qureshi at Waterstones Liverpool!

We are delighted to welcome A. T. Qureshi to Liverpool to celebrate the publication of The Baby Dragon Bookshop!

The third adorable instalment in Qureshi's bestselling cosy fantasy series finds two rivals competing for funding from a kooky investor by proving they can work together at the titular, highly flammable book emporium.

Will romance be the plot twist?

Emmy has an enemy, and his name is Luke. The good news? She rarely sees him. The bad news? When she does, she (and her pet dragons) are reminded just how handsome he is.

Besides, Emmy is too busy focusing on her dragon-fuelled business to have time for love. But when both she and Luke approach the same local investor for funding, she’s suddenly unable to avoid him. The kookie investor insists they must compete for the cash by working at the local failing baby dragon bookshop to prove their magical business knowledge.

Determined to win the funding, Emmy dives into the task. But making a very flammable bookshop fit for baby dragons is no small feat, and it seems these rivals may need to join forces. Could Luke and Emmy’s fiery animosity spark something more between them?
