City Trilogy series.
A dragon attacks a museum exhibit in a magical alternate San Francisco, circa 1941. Three children, a miniature griffin, and a disguised dragon join forces and hunt the creature to avenge their personal losses. A capricious deity and a world-threatening subplot complete this projected trilogy opener. An artful blend of fantasy and history shapes the story. Bib.
