Now it's too late, but there's a way to correct the mistake, and that's going to Mount Furnace where the Fire God guards a special fire rock. And off he walks into a frightening adventure full of surprises. The story has some neat twists, like when the Fire God turns out to be a Goddess who hates being talked to in reverent tones. Firetongue, the problem-ridden dragon boy, is a character kids can easily relate to. A perfect bedtime read-to book that guarantees exciting dreams.
Children love fairy tales, because of all the adventures leading up to a happy ever after.
In this modernized fairy tale, we meet three siblings, Gloria, Geoff and Gwen, the youngest. Gloria and Geoff are uneducated and unscrupulous, but consider themselves brave and strong. Gwen is smart, caring and practical. As they are seeking their fortune, they come across ants, ducks and bees. Each time, Gwen stops her brother and sister from killing the animals, thus earning their gratitude, which comes in handy later when they have to break a spell and save a Prince from his stony sleep.
