Synopsis

An enchanting tale for kids age 10 to 14 and for kids at heart! Ursula Leeds has always felt like an outsider – at school and even in her own family. But she’s always been okay with not fitting in. When a tiny, mysterious, dragon-like creature begins to visit her in her dreams, and her parents disappear after an argument that seems to be about her, she wonders if not fitting in has something to do with it. Enter Miranda, an odd woman who claims she can help the kids find the secret to their parents’ disappearance, and the children and their dog, Bear, go off on an adventure to find them. When the tiny dragon appears to Ursula while she’s wide awake, she finds out that he’s real, and his name is Malachi. As they become close, Ursula sees how Malachi reacts to anger and unkindness, and she discovers her own special power. Along the way, Ursula and her family grow closer despite their differences, and they learn some surprising secrets about their family history – and they are teased and taunted because of it. But when Ursula discovers that sometimes bullies are bullies because they are suffering deep inside, she unleashes the magical power she has to change hearts, and to maybe even change the world. This beautifully illustrated fairy-tale interpretation of the Jersey Devil legend empowers children to accept and celebrate their individual uniqueness. It offers insight into both sides of bullying, helps children understand that bullying often comes from pain, and that they can control their own reaction to it – and maybe even help others as they do. Ultimately, this story is about an extraordinary adventure!
