Bookroo's summary

Zack's ordinary life is upended when a computer glitch catapults him to the year 999. He finds himself at Dragon Slayers' Academy, a school where dragons and wizards are real. As Zack navigates this strange world, he must learn to survive amidst magical creatures and ancient challenges. Can he find a way back home, or will he become a legendary dragon slayer himself? The stakes are high, and the adventure is just beginning.

From the publisher

Forget about the Y2K problem! Zack’s up to his ears in dragons and wizards when a computer glitch sends him hurtling back in time to the year 999–and a peculiar boys’ school known as Dragon Slayers’ Academy!
