English Summary/英文概要： Life isn’t exactly normal lodging at the Pennykettles - not when you’re surrounded by hundreds of clay pottery dragons. Fate seems to be dictating an unusual course for David when his university tutor sets him a writing project on the existence - or not - of dragons. The tantalizing prize - a fully-funded research trip to the Arctic - seems just within his grasp. David starts to research the subject and soon discovers a connection between dragons and the Arctic just as it begins to snow. Is it only a coincidence? Or could deeper forces be at work? As David starts to uncover more about the dragons, he finds himself drawn down a path from which there is no going back to a time when dragons really did exist, and their secrets were guarded by the polar bears of the Arctic. If David is going to have any chance of winning the research trip, he has to open his mind to the legend of dragons and the mysterious secret of Icefire.

Praise for ICEFIRE:
"Chris d’Lacey’s writing is sometimes exciting and sometimes silly. But that seems in keeping with the worlds he created - one that seems almost real and one that is beyond imagination."---THE WASHINGTON POST

About the Author/作者介绍： Chris d’Lacey was born in Malta. However, he has lived the majority of his life in Leicester. After graduating from York University with a biology degree, he went to Leicester University where he has worked for the past twenty-two years as a research scientist.
Chris never had plans to become a writer (his teenage wish was to become a famous songwriter!).
Chris has published books with Orchard Books, Transworld, Scholastic and Egmont. His first children’s book Fly, Cherokee, Fly was highly commended for the 1999 Carnegie Medal. However, Chris claims his own favourite is The Fire Within which took him fifteen years to write and is a mixture of stories, one of which he was writing for his wife Jay as a surprise present.
Chris’s latest book for Orchard Books is the remarkable sequal to The Fire Within. In Icefire David’s university project on the existence of dragons takes him on an absorbing adventure all the way to the Arctic where he discovers a dragon’s power is held in a tear.
Chris lives with his wife in Leicester. He is a keen Leicester City fan and has ambitions to visit the Arctic, fly in a space shuttle, own a racehorse, have a record on Top of the Pops and beat his five year old nephew on the Playstation!
Chris d’Lacey生於瑪爾他島Malta，目前居住及生活在英國蘭徹斯特Leicester。畢業於約克大學生物學系。曾出版過多本青少年讀物，首部作品Fly, Cherokee, Fly及入圍1999年的卡內基文學獎(Carnegie Medal)，而他自己最得意的作品則是耗費他十五年光陰才構思完成的The Fire Within，之後從這本創造一個完整的系列故事The Last Dragon Chronicles(含前傳共七集)。此系列從2001首集推出後，目前全球銷售已超過5百問萬冊。http://www.icefire.co.uk/
