    "To quicken the egg, take it outside at midnight on the night of the next full moon. Lift it to the moonlight and wisper:

    Full moon's light to wake the egg
    Full moon's light to hatch it;
    Midsummer Night will crack the world,
    But St. John's day will patch it."

    When Jeremy Thatcher follows the strange instructions given to him by the weird old man who runs Elives' Magic Shop, he finds himself raising a tiny, mischief-loving dragon names Tiamat.  But as Jeremy soon learns, even a tiny dragon can mean big trouble.

    And Tiamat isn't going to stay tiny for long...

    Here is a tale filled with laughter, and a few tears, that will make your heart take wing.
