Jennifer Scales and the Ancient Furnace
Anthony Alongi, MaryJanice Davidson
And you thought puberty sucked. Try morphing into a dragon.
I knew that at this age I'd be going through a lot of
changesbut blue scales? Claws? A snout? Come on! This
is ridiculous and just so unfair. And I can't believe my
parents waited until the day I turned into a dragon to tell
me that I am onethanks to my dad's side of the family.
Believe me, no amount of dieting can stop how big I grow
when I turn dragonand don't get me started on the tail.
This dragon thing is going to happen every crescent moon.
Can I be any more of a freak? At least I have my grandfather
to show me how to get by as a weredragon. It's not easy. And
I can't even tell my best friends, because dragons have
ancient enemies who want to destroy them. As if my parents,
school and the soccer team weren't enough to deal with.
Looks like it's up to me to protect the few fellow dragons
that are still left or I won't see my next birthday. Forget
about blowing out those candles. With this breath, I'll set
the whole town on fire...
