About this audiobook

"To quicken the egg, take it outside at midnight on the night of the next full moon. Lift it to the moonlight and wisper:

Full moon's light to wake the egg
Full moon's light to hatch it;
Midsummer Night will crack the world,
But St. John's day will patch it."

When Jeremy Thatcher follows the strange instructions given to him by the weird old man who runs Elives' Magic Shop, he finds himself raising a tiny, mischief-loving dragon names Tiamat.  But as Jeremy soon learns, even a tiny dragon can mean big trouble.

And Tiamat isn't going to stay tiny for long...

Here is a tale filled with laughter, and a few tears, that will make your heart take wing.

Ratings and reviews

This is Bruce Coville's best book in my opinion. I really connected with Jeremy. Listening to this really brought back nostalgia and reminiscent memories from my childhood. I have saved the book for well over 20 years in my collection because it's still a favorite of mine.

One of my favorite books from childhood.
