Horace's dad is not like other dads. He has silver wings and a green and orange tail. But that's not the worst of Horace's problems. Nasty Sir Sneazle, the most evil teacher at Horace's school, has given him the worst homework assignment of all time: Horace has to kill a dragon. Why couldn't he be told to rescue a damsel? Even writing a hundred pages, like Horace's friend Bernard has to, would be better. Horace knows there's no way he can kill a dragon. Especially since his dad is one. How can he get out of this awful mess?

About the Author:
Jackie French has written more than 100 books for children and adults, many of them award winners, including her 2003 ALA Notable Book Diary of a Wombat. French loves wombats. In fact, she's had 39 of them! She says that one of the reasons she writes so many books is to pay the carrot bill for the furry creatures. French is a terrible speller (she's dyslexic), but a terrific writer. She lives in Australia with her husband, children, and assorted marsupials.
