In this story, a boy and a dragon become friends. The town discovers the dragon and want the dragon gone. The town members make up stories about the dragon that aren't true and get a dragon slayer. The boy comes up with an idea to keep the dragon safe. The book has really nice illustrations and makes us think twice about judging people.
