Bookroo's summary

Jeremy Thatcher stumbles upon a peculiar magic shop and leaves with what he believes is a simple marble. To his surprise, it hatches into a dragon, thrusting him into a world of mythical challenges. As Jeremy grapples with keeping a fire-breathing creature hidden, he must also learn the true bond between them. Can he nurture the dragon into a legendary beast, or will the chaos consume them both? Dive into a tale where magic and responsibility collide, and discover why Jeremy needs the dragon as much as it needs him.
