Description

Tyler and Lucinda have to spend summer with their Uncle Gideon, a farmer. They think they're in for lots of sheep, horses, and pigs. But when they arrive they discover that Ordinary Farm is, well, no ordinary farm. The bellowing in the barn comes not from a cow but from a dragon. The thundering herd in the valley? Unicorns. Uncle Gideon's farmhouse never looks the same twice. Plus, there's a flying monkey, a demon squirrel, and farmhands with strange powers. The place seems like an adventure. But when darker secrets surface and Uncle Gideon and his creatures are threatened, Lucinda and Tyler must act. Will they be able to save the dragons, the farm - and themselves?

Reviews

'The plot is clever, the characters interesting and mysterious and best of all it has dragons! I can hardly wait for the next page-turning adventure.' Christopher Paolini. 'Strange creatures, human and otherwise, and dangers around every corner. A rousing tale.' Terry Brooks.
