Then he finds something amazing in his mom's flowerbed.

A very cute and funny book involving a broken arm, a baby dragon, and a very eventful Summer. The scene where his friend signs his name in blood made me cringe a little.

I really liked this book. It wasn't my favorite,but it was really good. If you have kids that like to read, I really recommend this book to you. I think that I'm a little to old for it, that's why I didn't like it as much as I should have.but if you have children under ten years of age, I really think they will like it.

Meh...school age Scholastic filler. Fun, but nothing new or interesting.

My mom got this for me when I broke my collarbone, just like the main character. It was really an amusing book at the time.
