Rise of the Dragons by Angie Sage

Once our world was full of dragons who lived in harmony with humans. Dragons counseled kings and queens. They fought in human battles. And they gave humans the most precious gift of all: magic. But after a group of rogue dragons, the Raptors, tried to take over Earth, all dragons were banished to another realm. Most humans forgot about the dragons, claiming they never existed. Eleven-year-old Sirin knows the truth-she grew up with stories passed down through the generations. However, when her mother falls ill, even Sirin has trouble believing in magic, until she sees a mysterious streak of silver in the night sky.

Only a secret destiny can save the dragons in this enchanting adventure about the true meaning of home.
