Billy's loyal sidekick Fatcat is kidnapped by a fire-breathing dragon. Uh-oh!

Luckily for Fatcat, Billy won't stand for that: off she goes on a brave rescue mission...

'It's a great story for everyone, especially those not used to seeing themselves centre-stage'- The Guardian on Billy and the Beast

'Shireen's latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today... Sensational.' - The Observer

A story of empowerment with fairytale twists, bags of humour and an adventurous heroine to boot.
