Eddie was given a dragon's egg by his uncle for his last birthday, and one day he notices a crack in the egg. Soon the egg breaks open and out comes a very unusual creature. Just as Eddie and Emily are trying to cope with this new arrival, their mother announces that she has a surprise of her own. In their ninth adventure Eddie and Emily get the biggest surprise of their lives!

"Amid Edward’s pleas and Morton’s soothing replies, Parsons intersperses large scenes of domestic chaos, frowning (later smiling) people, and an inscrutable, horse-sized dragon flopped bonelessly on the sofa. Except for the chocolate cure, it’s much like trying to care for an oversized cat . . . that, OK, breathes fire." —Kirkus ReviewsonThe Dragonsitter

"Entertaining. . . . Parsons’s b&w cartoons, cleverly framed as photos attached to Edward’s emails, reveal a house in ruin, with curtains aflame, a gaping hole in the fridge, and neighborhood cats fleeing in terror. The discovery that dragons love chocolate helps set things right, paving the way for future destructive adventures." —Publishers WeeklyonThe Dragonsitter

"Told entirely through emails, this story provides plenty of funny moments, as Eddie manages to sound both upbeat and worried at the same time. . . . Its humorous tone and illustrations will appeal to young readers." —School Library JournalonThe Dragonsitter
