"This quick caper of a novel — perfect for kids who’ve moved beyond “Easy Readers” but aren’t quite ready for Harry Potter yet — tells the story of Jaxon, a little boy from Brooklyn whose family is on the brink of being evicted. While his mom fights for their home, she must leave him with a strange old woman named Ma … who just happens to be a witch … who just happens to have three baby dragons who must escape magic-less Brooklyn … and who just happens to disappear mid-task, leaving Jax and his friends to finish the job. Delightful chaos ensues, demonstrating that there might be more magic in Brooklyn than anyone (including other authors) has ever imagined. (For ages 8 to 12)"
