Bookroo's summary
Liza Jane fires her parents, convinced she can find better ones. Enter a dragon, eager to please but with a fiery flaw—literally. As flames disrupt her life, Liza Jane wonders if she made a mistake. Can she find the right balance between fun and responsibility, or will her fiery new guardian burn her world down? Discover the whimsical chaos and heartfelt lessons in this enchanting tale of family and fantasy.
From the publisher
Liza Jane believed she could find better parents. So she fired her mom and dad and hired the first applicant who came to the door—what could possibly go wrong?
And at first everything was fun. The dragon did whatever Liza Jane wanted him to do. But it turned out the dragon had only one response to all problems—opening his mouth and belching fire. Suddenly, people were scared of Liza Jane. The pizza deliveryman didn’t want to come to her house. No one wanted to play with her. And all that fire was very bad for the furniture.
Could Liza Jane have been wrong about what kind of qualities she wanted in a parent?
