Bookroo's summary

Eddie embarks on a daring adventure to Mongolia with his uncle, seeking the legendary Great Dragon Battle Ceremony. But the wild dragons are far from friendly, and the remote mountains offer little comfort beyond chocolate bars. Meanwhile, back home, Eddie's mother grapples with the unexpected challenge of dragonsitting, doubting her son's wild escapade. Through a series of humorous emails, misunderstandings and monstrous surprises unfold. Will Eddie survive the dragon-infested wilderness, and can his mom handle the chaos at home? Discover the thrilling twists in this action-packed tale of dragons and daring.

From the publisher

Eddie has traveled with his uncle Morton to Mongolia, in hope of being one of the few to watch the Great Dragon Battle Ceremony. But wild dragons are not so nearly friendly as pet ones, and the inhospitable mountains are a dangerous place to be stuck with nothing but a pile of chocolate bars. Meanwhile, back at home, Eddie’s mother can’t quite believe her son has really run off to Mongolia, and now she has been left with the tricky task of dragonsitting. Told in emails between Eddie and his mom, The Dragonsitter in the Land of the Dragons is an extra action-packed tale of misunderstandings, monsters and Mars bars.
