The Fire Within By Chris D'Lacey



Great First Book!!! I read this in about two days it was so good. David Rain is a college kid who decides to rent out a house nearby. He had no idea what was in store. First he meets a 11 year old girl, Lucy, the daughter of Elizabeth Pennykettle, owner of the house. She tells him the story of some squirrels that used to live in their neighbor's tree until he cut it down and how apparently one of them, Snigger, has an eye injury and can't find his way around. Then he discovers Elizabeth's clay dragons and the Dragon's Den, the one place he isn't allowed. These Dragons seem to walk and talk but nobody will believe him. This is his story of how he proves his point and what a cat can do. (Long story, literally. It's 340 pages!)
