THEY ARE HUMANS - AND DRAGONS. HEROES - AND FRIENDS. MAGICAL - AND MIGHTY. AND SO ARE THEIR KIDS! NOW A LAND OF GODS NEEDS THEM ALL...
Jarl Koenig thinks his children and witch-wife, Mirza, are safely vacationing on the wonderworld Realm. Until Faf, a baby dragon, pops through the dimensions to California and gives Jarl some grim news: The vile Shadowlord is holding Mirza prisoner on Achaea, planet of Greek myths. And unless she helps the wizard suck the lifeforce from the mystic Bright One who dwells in Achaea's sun, the Shadowlord will kill Jarl and Mirza's three adventurous children.
But the kids have their own magic powers, and friends: dragons Fafnoddle, Ebony, and rambunctious little Faf, as well as the young of the cosmic dragonlord Wyrd. Soon their father will join them, braving the perils of unknown Achaea to search for his wife. All the while the Shadowlord's evil grows and grows... until dragons, young heroes, and gods must battle a mad scheme to murder a world, a star--and perhaps all creation....

"I am so sick of this book! My twin boys have been fascinated with this story for two years now. We are swimming in books here at home, but month after month this one continues to find its way to the evening "cuddle up with a book" time. The lack of words has encouraged a lot of sound effects, and there is just enough animosity between the knight and dragon to make it a little bit scary. Despite the failure at destroying each other, the two ultimately become business partners. The example is sufficiently classic to fill a whole chapter of the well-known marketing book, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy. Make sure to look at some other DePaola titles, too -- my kids love them all."
