Bookroo's summary

Jaxon faces a chilling New York summer, a mysterious sleeping sickness, and friends transforming into magical beings. Entrusted with a phoenix egg, he must unlock his potential as a witch's apprentice. Can Jaxon find the magic to save his friends and hatch the phoenix, or will the city's strange afflictions prevail? As secrets unfold, Jaxon must navigate a world where magic and reality collide, testing his courage and ingenuity. Will he rise to the challenge, or will the magical realm's mysteries remain unsolved?

From the publisher

The dragons may be out of the bag, but Jaxon is ready to hatch some magic of his own in this third book in the critically acclaimed series. Ever since the baby dragons were returned to the magical realm, things have been off. The New York summer has been unusually cold. A strange sleeping sickness is spreading across the city. And Jaxon’s friends Kenny and Kavita have begun to change, becoming more like the fairy and dragon they once cared for. On top of all that, Jax is hiding a secret–Vik entrusted him with a phoenix egg! Jax wants to help his friends and learn how to hatch the phoenix, but so far his lessons as a witch’s apprentice haven’t seemed very useful. Where can he find the strength–and the magic–he needs?
