Ms. Toombs does a very nice job of weaving a tale of fantasy that will capture a young one’s imagination. Her characters are sweet and kind, the grandfather is a crafty thinker, and you instantly find yourself rooting for the dragon.

The author could have gone a bit more in depth about why her parents and Gina’s are dead, but it was not essential to the plot. Just got my curiosity up and might have given a bit more substance to the story. It is a very enjoyable story even without that knowledge.
Along with the dragon egg, Nahma brought home a blue seed pod and planted it. When government officials come around to see the dragon and learn from him, Gina helps Nahma hide the seed pod.
The author uses the grandfather’s video skills and comic drawings to introduce the dragon to the world and keep the officials from confiscating the dragon. I thought that was pretty inventive and added to the story.
Gina has fallen in love with the dragon, Turk. But there is no way a blue dragon and a human can mate. Or is there?
If you want to know what Gina decides to do and how it turns out, grab yourself a copy of novella and read it. It’s light fun read for young ones and I enjoyed it, too.
