A NEW fantasy novel for middle-school readers
First in The DragonFly Kin Series
A young DragonFly Kin learns his nightmares are key to saving his forest home and kin.
"I close my eyes and picture the portal. I enter the nightmare."Bongo is confused and alone following the death of Grann, the elder DragonFly Kin who raised him. He never learned from her who he is, other than a baby she found in the Turquoise Forest. He spends his time brooding and looking for storms to challenge his flying skills.
But soon he faces a bigger challenge and forbidding mystery. Night after night, he experiences vivid nightmares where he appears in a world of monsters bursting out of the sky like lightning sparks, burning great trees in their path. His nightmares warn of a secret portal and a forgotten enemy, Beetle Kin from the Ruby Forest.
Bongo joins an unlikely team on a mission to stop the pending attack and raid of their prized Turquoise Stones buried beneath the great Turquoia Trees. Confronted with a dangerous task, how will he choose to defend the Turquoise Forest?
