Notes From Your BooksellerFans of the Rick Riordan Presents series of diverse fantasy novels — kids, parents and teachers — will love our newest Monthly Pick for young readers. Twelve-year-old Billy Chan thinks he's being exiled when his parents tell him they've signed him up to attend language and culture camp in China. He certainly isn't expecting to make friends at camp OR open a crack in an ancient mountain and meet dragons ... but now it's up to Billy and his new pals to save the dragons — and the world as we know it.
Beast Quest meets Percy Jackson in this epic new middle-grade fantasy series!
Deep within the mountain, a great creature stirred in its sleep. Its eyes rolled back in its head, and its wings jerked wide open...
When 12-year-old Billy Chan finds out his parents are sending him to a summer camp in middle-of-nowhere China, he doesn't know what to expect. There he meets fellow campers Dylan, Charlotte, and Ling-Fei, and together they stumble upon an age-old secret: there are four powerful warrior dragons hidden deep within the mountain behind the camp! They need the children's help to set them free before terrible evil in the guise of the Dragon of Death is unleashed upon the earth. Billy and his friends must set off on a dangerous adventure that will take them to the heart of the Dragon Realm. But can they save the dragon and human worlds from destruction?
