From New York Times bestselling author Tracey West comes a magical and heartwarming early reader adventure set in the exact same fantasy universe as her beloved Dragon Masters series. Dragon Hill serves as a safe haven and wondrous paradise for young dragons, but sudden trouble arises when the crucial magic jewel that protects their entire home mysteriously goes missing. Best friends Ember the Fire Dragon and Gus the Mushroom Dragon immediately team up to retrieve it before their sanctuary is compromised. However, they are still very young, and Ember struggles with her confidence because she does not yet know how to control or use her natural fire powers. Following a trail of tiny squirrel paw prints, the courageous duo journeys into unknown territory where they encounter a helpful Tree Dragon. Told across five beautifully illustrated short stories, this whimsical quest teaches emerging readers fundamental lessons about collaboration, self-discovery, and determination. Part of Scholastic’s specially developed Acorn imprint, this fantasy tale features accessible text, short-story formats, and vibrant full-color artwork on every page to systematically build reading stamina and lifelong confidence.
