Anyone coming along?
Here’s the idea with Oliver in it. Type a name and it becomes your child’s.
Oliver finds a stone that isn't a stone: out of it comes a small, scared dragon. Oliver doesn't grab it — puts food down, waits — and it comes over on its own. A mark on the shell leads to a dragon academy, where Oliver's dragon is the smallest by far. Then the big challenge — and nearly at the finish Oliver hears a young dragon stuck behind fallen rock and turns off the course. Only a dragon this small can get in. Only Oliver knows how to bring it out.
