Clay finds a kid washed up on a volcanic island's beach and agrees to hide him in a cave near the Earth Ranch, "a magic camp for young adepts." When the castaway's wealthy dad comes ashore in search of a dragon, Clay discovers his own supernatural ability: interspecies communication. A clever, funny adventure perfect for fans of dragons and magic.
