Bookroo's summary
George and Blaise share everything through letters—pets, birthdays, and science projects. But there's a twist: George is human, and Blaise is a dragon. As their friendship deepens, the day approaches when they will meet face-to-face. How will they react to each other's true nature? Will their bond withstand the surprise, or will their differences drive them apart? This charming tale explores the power of friendship beyond appearances.
From the publisher
A sweet and clever friendship story in rhyme, about looking past physical differences to appreciate the person (or dragon) underneath.
George and Blaise are pen pals, and they write letters to each other about everything: their pets, birthdays, favorite sports, and science fair projects. There’s just one thing that the two friends don’t know: George is a human, while Blaise is a dragon! What will happen when these pen pals finally meet face-to-face?
