The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart by Stephanie Burgis

Have your hot chocolate ready before you start reading this book. Aventurine is a young dragon whose scales aren’t hard enough to protect her yet. Tired of being stuck at home, she runs away to prove herself. When she tries to eat a human, the delicious smell of chocolate he is cooking reaches her nostrils first and instead, she drinks his hot chocolate. It is the most wonderful thing she has tasted, and yet when she wakes she finds it was enchanted and now she’s a human girl. Feeling like she has failed her family, Aventurine travels to the closest city in search of more chocolate and, with the help of a new friend and a chocolatier boss, she finds so much more than just chocolate.
