​

When Andy turns six, he's finally allowed to visit the enchanting realm of Elfinia with his sister's best friend, Benedict the Elf. Eager for his first journey into this magical world, Andy can't wait to meet Dudley the Dragon, who has been feeling a bit down lately.

 

But upon their arrival, they discover that Dudley faces a daunting challenge. Summoned back to the Great Gorge for Queen Li'Andra's 200th birthday celebration, Dudley must prove he is a true dragon—or risk banishment forever. Unlike other dragons, Dudley doesn't eat meat, and this difference has made him an outcast among his kind.

 

As Benedict and Andy accompany Dudley to the heart of dragon territory, they become entangled in fierce rivalries and ancient traditions. It will take all of their courage, cleverness, and the magic of friendship to help Dudley find acceptance and to ensure everyone's safe return home.

Now available in English, this enchanting illustrated chapter book continues the adventures of Benedict and his friends, celebrating bravery, self-acceptance, and the power of standing up for what's right.
