A different take on dragons and knights
A dragon that doesn’t want to dine on knights – that’s unheard of! Gizmo’s parents are more than a little disappointed in their kid. Not far from Gizmo, young knight Adrian and Princess Priscilla also fail to meet their parents’ expectations. It won’t come as a surprise, then, that their first encounter in the woods doesn’t lead to a fearsome battle, but instead to a close friendship. When Gizmo’s parents suddenly disappear, this friendship is put to the test: it is Priscilla’s parents who seem to be behind the abduction. Now Gizmo, Adrian and Priscilla have to show what they can really accomplish as a team!
• A magical universe full of knights, dragons, princesses, and unicorns - modern and humorous
• A dragon-filled adventure WITHOUT the usual archetypes
