What is The Secret Dragon about?

Prince Griffin longs for a pet, but his mother, the Queen, is allergic to magical creatures. On his eighth birthday, his aunt gives him a mysterious egg, which hatches into a tiny dragon named Sir Pipsqueak. Keeping Pip secret is easy at first, but the fast-growing dragon soon becomes impossible to hide. With sneezes, sparks and unexpected flames causing chaos throughout the castle, Griff must find a way to protect his beloved pet before the Queen discovers the truth.
