Bookroo's summary

At Jewel's Pizza Castle, Mrs. Jeepers' class enjoys a medieval-themed meal until mysterious rumbles from the kitchen raise suspicions. The owner claims his cook is just temperamental, but the kids suspect a dragon is behind the fiery fits. Is the cook really a captive dragon, and is the owner the legendary St. George? As the earth shakes, the kids must uncover the truth before the situation boils over. Will they solve the mystery, or will the dragon's temper become a real threat?

From the publisher

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers. There’s a hot new pizza joint in Bailey City and Mrs. Jeepers brings the kids there for a special treat. The castle-shaped building and medieval-style costumes on the waiters are fun, but when a rumble from the kitchen shakes the restaurant’s foundations, the kids get suspicious. George, the owner, says his cook is temperamental and the earth-shaking fits he has are nothing unusual, but the kids are pretty sure the owner is St. George the dragon slayer and that his cook is a captive dragon. Can the kids uncover the truth before the disgruntled cook becomes a real problem?
