My Father's Dragon is an exciting tale about a young adventurer, Elmer Elevator, who leaves his home and takes to the sea. His mission? To free a young dragon trapped upon the enchanted Wild Island.
But when Elmer arrives on Wild Island, and the animals realise there's an intruder looking to steal their dragon, Elmer's life quickly becomes a whole lot more complicated!
