When Beck's mother dies, he's sent to live with his estranged (and strange) Uncle Aeron. Beck discovers he has the power to magically manipulate foliage, but unwittingly uses it to unleash a horde of dragons. While the plot and characters, including cold beauty Kate and overweight matron Millie, are uninspired, the high-energy adventure may satisfy fans of dragon fantasy.
