LEO SWIFT has always believed in dragons. His father, Mage, has not. When his mother and little sister go missing, Leo has a hunch that live dragons (and maybe a few wizards) are involved. But persuading his father that dragons are more than fantasy would require magic beyond Leo’s wildest daydreams. But who ever said daydreams aren’t real? Buckle up! Grab a Dungeon’s Donut and a cup of Trader’s enchanted coffee–and, if you have time, swing on over to B. Wilder’s Book Den and meet the local dragon, Notsch. She’ll be the one hoarding the emerald green tennis balls.

When a 10, 12, or 14 year old picks up my books, I want them to feel safe, to escape from the stress and busyness of everyday life and technology, and to be filled with absolute wonder. There is a Wondercurrent in all of us."
