Publisher's summary

The world’s smallest dragon and a washed-up actress team up to strike a blow for humanity in this brand-new adventure by the author of the Andrea Vernon and Orlando People series.

Birdie Binkowitz is just a little bitter. As a young actress, she was the toast of Hollywood, definitely destined for greatness. Then the dragons had to rise up from their thousand-year slumber, take over Earth and ruin everything. Twenty years later, Birdie is living her worst life in her hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, working at her father's Seed and Feed (and Bagels).

Then, a mysterious dragon appears in front of the store seeking her help. He’s got a bone to pick with his fellow dragons–and he wants to hit them where it hurts.

Birdie and Jim the Dragon will need to put together a team with a fighter, a mage, a thief, and a giant to pull off a daring heist. If they succeed, they might change the world.

Or at least get Birdie an agent.

Ridiculous, but well done

Too silly for my taste but … the story was skillfully written, and exquisitely performed. It was a please listening.

My kind of read... Uh... Listen!

Kane did a fantastic job of comedy that made me laugh as well as wit and adventure. The "flawed" characters were well rounded and likable. It was never boring, and I laughed outloud a few times. Excellent narration. Loved it!

Not what you expect from dragons - Way Better!

I love all of this author’s books and not only wish there were more books but more authors like him. The way he infuses pop culture and humor has me giggling, and I make my husband listen to the books with me a second time so we can enjoy the laughs together.

This is a fun twist on what the modern world would be like with dragons. Each of the characters has fun, distinct personalities and there are great quips all throughout.

I don’t have an audible subscription anymore but when I saw the author was releasing another book I had to buy it and am glad I did!

Loved This Book!

This book has everything for me: modern day setting with a fantasy story, hilarious dialogue, lovable characters, fun plot. From a dragon who decides to wear pants, a washed-up child star, and a feed and seed and bagel store set in Alabama. I loved everything about this story and the narrator was spot on with her comedic timing. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

Had highs and lows fast and slow

Took a while to get into this story. At first it was just annoying and I almost gave up. I went back to see why in the world I bought this book. Then once I realized who the author was and my past experience with the superhero books it made more sense….I took a break and came back to it when I didn’t mind the snarky adolescent humor and lowered expectations. It’s a road trip type book in my opinion. But since I didn’t have any planned I decided to just finish it. I’m glad I did. The story picked up the last 3 hrs of the book. All in all it was not the greatest book with dragons but it was not bad. :)

Spoiler Alert!!!


The book ends on a cliffhanger…I hate that now I’m going to have to wait till the next book comes out to see what happens. :)
