Publisher's Synopsis
Magic happens when make-believe becomes real. Dragons, Monsterrs, and Imaginary Friends is a work of fiction and adventure for young adult and up. It's a youngster's southern Field of Dreams with hilarious antics like in The Bad News Bears, magical moments as in Angels in the Outfield, and the heart-tugging, puppy in the rain scenes like in Blind Side.
Dragons... is a blend of play time in the woods, dreams and underdog days, family life tradegies, historical treasure, sinister actions, and heroism. Over one hundred sketches and photos enhance a reader's vision of the drama as it plays out. Underdog Peter Marshall battles dragons with imaginary friends. His hero is his dad, who died when he was a toddler. Peter dreams of base hits like his dad. Coaches don't want him, though, as his skills were pitiful. A girl was much better. Peer pressure is constant. His widowed mom is buried in work and trying to save her family. Peter chases his dream alone. His make believe turns real as his imaginary friends-an oak, two owls, and a fox-come to his rescue. They are able to talk with him and help with valuable historic Indian and Spanish treasures for the family. An adult enemy carries out sinister plots to obtain the treasures. The setting is in the historic woods of Tallahassee, Florida. Excitement and drama fill each chapter through the final scene.
