A boy, his grandfather, and a baby dragon set off on an international adventure that takes them from the Midwest to Iceland in this children's fantasy novel perfect for fans of When You Trap a Tiger and How To Train Your Dragon.

Johan is off to visit his Grandpa Siggy—a charismatic, impetuous Icelander with a big secret: He took a dragon egg with him when he immigrated to America. As fate would have it, Dreki hatched just a few hours after Johan was born, magically linking the two. But Dreki was kept hidden.

Now, many years later, the time has come for Dreki to journey home, and for Johan to discover his ancestry through a life-changing trip to Iceland. But the clock is ticking as both Siggy and Dreki’s health is in jeopardy. It’s up to Johan to make sure both of them get home safely and for the secret of Dreki to remain. This intergenerational, cross-cultural coming of age novel explores aspects of Icelandic folklore while dealing sensitively with the themes of aging and returning home.

*This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of Icelandic vocabulary and an illustrated map from the printed book.
MARY LOGUE is the author of the acclaimed Claire Watkins mystery series, including most recently Bone Harvest. An award-winning poet, she lives with writer Pete Hautman in the Wisconsin bluff country, the setting for the Watkins novels. Visit the author’s website at www.petehautman.com/marylogue.html.
