Aren't dragons just about the coolest things ever?Jeremy Thatcher has always thought so. He likes to draw them, read about them, daydream about them - sometimes he even wishes that his dad's vet practice had a few dragons to take care of, instead of Fat Pete, who hisses and scratches at everybody.
Then one day, trying to escape Mary Lou Hutton (who for some reason, as the whole school knows, wants to kiss him - Yuuuuuuck!), Jeremy hides inside a store he's never seen before. A store with all sorts of magical things. A store with a grouchy old storekeeper who very reluctantly sells Jeremy the most amazing thing he's ever seen - a real, live, softly glowing dragon's egg.
But as cool as a dragon's egg is, imagine how neat it will be when it hatches! Dragons are just so much... trouble???

PS: If you enjoy Jeremy's adventure, there are lots of other books associated with the very magic shop for you to explore.
