A tiny dragon. A big adventure. An unforgettable friendship.
Max is eleven, shy, and certain that nothing extraordinary will ever happen to him. That is, until he stumbles upon a shimmering egg beneath an ancient oak tree. Out hatches Ember - a dragon no bigger than his thumb, with a sneeze that sparks tiny flames and a heart as brave as any knight’s.
At first, Max tries to keep Ember a secret. But when mysterious mischief begins spilling into the real world - shoes walking away on their own, shadows slipping free, doors opening to nowhere - Max learns that Ember isn’t just a magical pet. He’s part of a hidden clan of miniature dragons who guard the gateways between worlds.
With his best friend Kira by his side, Max must help Ember find his family before the gateways collapse forever. Along the way, they’ll face a cunning collector of magical creatures, a forest that twists its paths, and riddles that can only be solved with courage and cleverness.
Can a boy who’s always felt invisible discover that the smallest heroes can make the biggest difference?
A heart-warming story of courage, friendship, and believing in yourself.
