Acclaimed writer Richard Carpenter ("The Borrowers", "Black Beauty") creates a wondrous tale in the best E.T. tradition in this story of a boy and his pet dragon.

Stanley Katz is a young American exhange student who loves exploring and pot-holing. When he finds a mysterious egg on one of his expeditions, the last thing he expects to hatch from it is a baby dragon.

Olly, the young dragon, turns into an awesome thirty foot long creature whose existence causes officaldom to swing into action.
