Gork isn't like the other dragons at WarWings Military
Academy. He has a gigantic heart, two-inch horns, and an
occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak
Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious--the
lowest in his class. But he is determined not to let any
of this hold him back as he embarks on the most important
day of his life: before his high school graduation, he
must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says
yes, they'll go off to conquer a foreign planet together.
If she says no, Gork becomes a slave. Vying with Jocks, Nerds, Mutants, and Multi-Dimensioners
to find his mate, Gork encounters an unforgettable cast
of friends and foes, including Dr. Terrible, the mad
scientist; Fribby, a robot dragon obsessed with death;
and Metheldra, a healer specializing in acupuncture with
swords. But it is Gork's biggest perceived weakness, his
huge heart, that will guide him through his epic quest
and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet
Earth. A love story, a fantasy, and a coming-of-age story, Gork
the Teenage Dragon is a wildly comic, beautifully
imagined, and deeply heartfelt debut novel that shows us
just how human a dragon can be.
