What is The friendly dragon about?

Sam has a wonderful secret: his best friend is a friendly dragon. But when the townsfolk discover her, they are frightened and call for St George, the famous dragon fighter. Sam knows his gentle friend would never hurt anyone, so he must find a way to prove it before St George arrives. Can Sam persuade the villagers to see the dragon’s kind heart, or will she be forced to hide forever? A charming retelling about courage, friendship and looking beyond appearances.
