Ro and his siblings love to play games, eat cheeseburgers, and go on adventures—but what they love most of all is when their dad comes home to tell stories of far-away places. In his creative stories, each of the kids get their own, action-packed lead role! Sometimes, their father includes mythical creatures like gryphons and dragons. But of all the stories he told, there was one that took on a life of its own.

​

On Ro’s eleventh birthday, in a tall house on a quiet street, the children all gather to listen to a new story. Sadly, Dad had to leave before he could finish it–but not before presenting Ro with a special golden birthday gift and a fiery opal. Ro awakens the next morning to lights flashing outside the window and police officers knocking at the front door.

​

His world is turned upside down.

​

Dealing with grief, Ro and his siblings seek to unlock the magic behind their father’s gift, accidentally summoning a villain of legend. Swept up in the magic of the moment, Ro finds himself swallowed by the sea and washed up on the shores of a magical island, one of dragons, with no way home. Will Ro unlock the mysteries surrounding the golden book and fire opal, or will he and his siblings be lost forever?
