Description: Quiet and shy, Shoua is heartbroken when she is not allowed to go on a camping trip with her grandfather, father and two brothers simply because she is a girl. When Shoua's mother has special dreams about a falling star in the forest, her grandfather mysteriously allows Shoua to come along and camp in the north Minnestoa woods. While camping, a star falls and a wounded dragon is found. Shoua becomes determined to save the dragon in order to prove her place in the family. In the process, she discovers her own voice and magical power!
