Under the school, something is breathing.
Thirteen-year-old Andy LaChance can read anything: a rink, a room, his father's hands on the wheel. When his hockey talent wins him a place at St. Gorran's, an old boarding school on a headland above the Atlantic, he arrives carrying his father's dream like luggage that was packed for him.
The school is beautiful. The school is generous. And the school is hiding something.
A grate that breathes with the tide. A door on no map. A 1911 survey with one line razored out of the legend. As Andy and his friends follow the rumors down - Quad, enrolled before he was born; Theo, who keeps a clock that tells the ocean's time; Jun, whose real work hides inside the work he's supposed to want; Maya, who watches everything, because watching is free - they discover what the school's motto, Conquer thy dragon, has been hiding for a century. And Andy learns what the dragon actually eats.
It does not feed on failure. It feeds on the moment achievement replaces desire.
Atmospheric, exact, and quietly unforgettable, Andy and the Humble Dragon is a novel about talent and expectation, fathers and sons, the friends who hold the door, and the difference between slaying what lives beneath you and finally calling it by its name.
For readers 10-14 - and for anyone who ever read a parent's hands in the cab of a truck. Includes the illustrated 1911 campus survey, interior plates, and discussion questions for classrooms and book clubs.
