Dark Sky's Ashes (Large Print)

Kansas City was built on secrets-and one of them is waking up.

When Conley's family moves into the vintage Dragon District, he's hoping for a fresh start. New place. New friends. Maybe a neighborhood pool-as long as he can keep his little brothers out of trouble.

What he gets is an old house scarred by fire, and a dragon egg locked in the basement. Waiting.

The city was shaped by fire, blood, and bargains that locked Dark Sky away a century ago. Conley's family landed in the one house that sits on top of the prison. And now, thanks to Conley's curiosity, the egg is hatching.

To stop Dark Sky, Conley must locate and wake the dragons that once protected the city-and the mysterious leader who commanded them.

But Dark Sky has a horrible plan for Conley, and he's already on the move. Conley's running out of time to build a team and face a monster that burned the city once before.

Not every disaster begins at Trickery School. Not every dragon sleeps forever. And the nemesis in your basement? Already awake.

Book 5 in the Casey Grimes middle grade fantasy adventure series. Conley's action-packed story reveals secrets that shape the whole narrative. The wit of Percy Jackson meets the creatures of Fablehaven-perfect for fans of Harry Potter's magical world-building. Over 250,000 copies sold worldwide. For readers ages 8-14.
