The Schoolboy's Dragon (Adventures in Time and Magic) (Volume 1) 1st edition

The last two adult dragons on the planet live in seclusion as they wait for their only child to grow mature enough and strong enough to ride the solar winds out of this galaxy but for the young dragon it is a lonely existence. With none of his own kind to play with he can only look on longingly at the village children as they play in the fields below his refuge until one day fate takes a hand. Companionship comes in the form of five scruffy schoolboys. Blessed with the combined intellect of a dead ant and as much sense of responsibility as a cloud the five boys take the young dragon on a hilarious series of misadventures as the six friends become inseparable. When danger threatens it is the boys who mobilise to defend their new found friend and his parents and when forces of evil beyond their comprehension strike at their idyllic new life it is the boys, armed with nothing more than a sense of humour and a total belief in themselves and a few, new, magical acquaintances, which rise to the task of opposing the growing nightmare. Would you walk into hell for a friend?
