Dragon Of The Lost Sea.
The Dragon Princess Shimmer is on a dangerous quest: to recover a magic pebble containing a stolen sea - a sea that is her home, her past, her future. "may be I"d better go with you," suggest the orphan boy, Thorn. Shimmer scoffs, " Don't try to follow, boy. You'd be next to useless."
Even through Shimmer is a dragon princess and Thorn a mere human, Thorn knows they have something in common. They are both homeless, both alone in the world. They need each other. "I'LL never let you down, " Thorn says. "Wait and see." After all, if a pebble can hold an ocean, a boy can prove himself as bold as a dragon.
