The Dragonling (A Springboard Book) - Hardcover

Darek can't wait for his first Dragonquest. Then he can be just like his older brother, Clep, the hero who brought down a Great Blue, the largest and fiercest dragon of all. Darek goes to admire the kill -- and finds a dragonling peeking out of the giant dragon's pouch. Scared but curious, he feeds the hungry baby and makes an unlikely friend. But to save the helpless dragonling he must now venture into the fearsome Valley of the Dragons, risking his life to return his friend to his own fire-breathing kind!

Darek is dismayed when his beloved dragonling, Zantor, and his best friend, pola, disappear into the mists of Krad. He finds an unlikely ally in Rowena and the two set off on a daring rescue mission. But the mysterious land of Krad is even more dangerous than they had imagined. The leader of Darek's village wants to make war against Krad. He didn't count on the little Zynots, as well as the onetime king of Krad, to join forces with Darek, his friends, and their dragons against him. Before long, they all find themselves engaged in a fantastic struggle that will change their entire world...forever!
