In San Francisco there lives a dragon by the name of Miss Drake. She has cared for a family for a very long time and has watched generations come and go. When her favorite pet human passes away she becomes depressed and locks herself away to grieve. When Winnie the granddaughter of her human pet shows up with her mother to take over the house, Miss Drake is scandalized to find that Winnie thinks she owns HER! The ridiculous notion is only the beginning, Winnie tells her that her grandmother specifically asked her to take care of Miss Drake so she would not be alone. Will Miss Drake be able to train her new pet and learn to love again or will Winnie prove to be the very cause of the magic world's downfall?
It will be no surprise that Yep has delivered a thoughtful story about the ways that grief can manifest itself and how love can be a powerful reminder that though we have lost someone special they never are truly lost to us after all. Would recommend this for young readers who like fantasy and may not be ready for something heavier like Harry Potter just yet.
