Fear shared is a burden lightened. Courage shared is a hope doubled. Raised by a pair of owls since he was a hatchling, Gus grows up believing he is the last Green Dragon. Then a chance encounter with a girl named Ev uncovers a secret doorway between Gus's world and hers. Their unlikely friendship forges the key to unlocking Gus's mysterious past--and leads them to a shocking discovery about Ev. But can their friendship survive this life-changing revelation? An imaginative, suspenseful, and touching tale of the powerful magic of friendship.
