From the publisher

Dear Uncle Morton: Your dragons are still here. They have eaten the entire contents of the fridge and most of the cans in the pantry too. Arthur also swallowed three spoons and the remote control. Mom says they will probably come out the other end, but I’m not really looking forward to that. –EddieWhen Eddie takes Uncle Morton’s dragons with him on Christmas vacation, it’s not long before they’re causing all sorts of mischief. Turns out, dragonsitting isn’t getting any easier for Eddie. Throw in a castle, a sneezing dragon, and a big box of fireworks, and it looks like this trip might end with a bang! The Dragonsitter’s Castle will have readers laughing out loud and begging for more high-flying adventures!
