Dragon Tuesday — Amy Laurens

On a hot and stuffy afternoon, Chay and Sham want ice cream--and to spot the strange dragon that appears on the streets every Tuesday first this time.

But when a metallic, boxy beast appears blowing smoke and vomiting people, what Chay gets costs her a lot more than she bargained for.

A cautionary tale about getting what you thought you wanted, and the weighty impact of over-active curiosity glands.
