- Book Synopsis
- The world's most legendary dragon slayer, St. George, gets a bold, modern reimagining in this explosive beginning to the Order of the Dragon Slayer series-launching a ragtag band of Scouts into a hidden world of ancient beasts, buried secrets, and destinies forged in dragon fire. "Warning: This adventure is full of danger. It's got dragons and death, coal mines and cold-blooded killers, treasure and true love-the stuff legends are made of. But even more dangerous are the kids in this tale. They're tough. They're brave. And they're exactly the kind of heroes our world needs." -from the foreword by Chief World Scouting Ambassador Bear Grylls Everyone in Big Mountain, West Virginia, knows entering the coal mines is strictly forbidden. But twelve-year-old George Goodwin knows something more-deep underground lies a treasure that could save his town and clear his father's name. When his Scouting troop heads out for a weekend camping trip, George secretly recruits his best friends, Skunks and Artie, on a quest to find proof. But their plans unravel when they collide with George's camera-wielding nemesis, Clementine, and her pageant-queen sister, Flo-and the motley crew is pulled into the adventure of a lifetime. They'll need every ounce of courage-and every trick in the Scouting handbook-to survive! Collapsing tunnels. Ruthless thieves. Dynamite traps. And a fire-breathing monster with a hunger to devour mankind . . . starting with them! Full of unexpected thrills, rebellious hope, and laugh-out-loud humor, New York Times bestselling authors Candace Lee and Eric Newman deliver a blazing new adventure starring an unlikely hero who's about to become the next great legend.
