Dragon of the Lost Sea — Laurence Yep

The dragon princess Shimmer has lost her home

The dragon princess Shimmer is on a dangerous quest: to recover a magic pebble containing a stole sea--a sea that is her home, her past, her future. "Maybe I'd better go with you," suggests the orphan boy, Thorn. Shimmer scoffs. "Don't try to follow boy. You'd be next to useless."

Even though Shimmer is a dragon princess and Thorn a mere human, Thorn knows they have something in common. They are both homeless, both alone in the world. They need each other. "I'll never let you down," Thorn says. "Wait and see." After all, if a pebble can hold an ocean, a boy can prove himself as bold as a dragon.
