"Rebecca Rupp's magical tale . . . radiates a glow as golden as the dragon's scales." — BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE

Hannah, Zachary, and Sarah Emily are spending the summer at their great-aunt Mehitabel's house on faraway Lonely Island. There, in a cave hidden high above the ocean, they discover a fabulous creature: a glittering three-headed golden dragon with a kind heart, an unpredictable temper, and a memory that spans 20,000 years. Transported by the magic of the dragon's stories, the children meet Mei-lan, a young girl in ancient China; nineteenth-century cabin boy Jamie Pritchett; and, in more recent times, Hitty and her brother, Will, who survive a frightening plane crash on a desert island. In this fluidly written novel, Rebecca Rupp exploreswhat three children from the present learn from the past - and from anunlikely but wise and generous friend.

• Three kids Hannah, Zachary,and Sarah Emily went to visit their aunt and uncle and they found a cave that was called Drake’s Hill. They found a three headed dragon. Two heads were sleeping and one was awake. The dragon told them a story about his life. They leave the cave so that the dragon could sleep. Each time they come back the other head would be awake. Each of the dragons told them a story about their lives and how they met the children. The children told the dragon good bye and good night. Then they left the island to go back home.
