''Dragonfall 5'' is a series of children's sci-fi novels written by Brian Earnshaw in the 1970s. The series is illustrated by Simon Stern. ''Dragonfall 5'' is about a family (presumably British) - Tim, Sanchez, Old Elias and Big Mother - living in a nondescript part of the 3rd millennium, travelling along various planets in their aging, nearly obsolete spaceship called the ''Dragonfall 5''. They transport goods, passengers and other items to a variety of worlds. As well as the four humans, their crew includes a pet dog called Jerk, who is a breed of flying hounds who can glide using his long ears. They also have several small rodent-like animals called Minims. They always work in groups of three, and can jointly translate most alien languages. In the Royal Beast there were at least six Minims on the ship. ==Books== * ''Dragonfall 5 and the Space Cowboys'' (1972): Their engine in need to repair, Dragonfall 5 drifts into a world made of asteroids.
