(4) 4-6 Barron's seemingly endless supply of Avalon books continues in this trilogy opener about Basil, a strange-looking lizard. One-of-a-kind Basil travels to Avalon trying to help Merlin and wishing to be important. In a conclusion that might shock anyone who hasn't read the book's title, Basil discovers he's a dragon. Basil's adventure is peppered with musings on identity and self-fulfillment.
