| Young Jeremy Thatcher thought the multicolored rock he bought from Mr. Elives' magic shop was just some sort of marble. Instead the "rock" ends up being a dragon's egg that Jeremy must hatch and raise. His new fire-breathing pet Tiamet proves quite a handful, especially when Jeremy discovers only he can see and hear her -- even when Tiamet grows into a giant, beautiful creature of myth. Still Jeremy grows attached to the dragon he raised from birth, so when Mr. Elives informs Jeremy it is time to send Tiamet back to her world, Jeremy grows depressed. | ||
