This week I'm spotlighting a book I received from the author in exchange for an honest review:
Bentwhistle the Dragon in A Threat from the Part is an adventure story children and adults alike will love, about the present day world in which dragons disguised as humans have infiltrated the human race at almost every level, to guide and protect them. Three young dragons in their human guises become caught up in an evil plot to steal a precious commodity, vital to the dragon community. How will the reluctant hero and his friends fare against an enemy of his race from far in the past? Fascinating insights into the dragon world are interspersed throughout the book. Ever wondered how dragons travel below ground at almost the speed of sound? Or how they use magical mantras to transform their giant bodies into convincing human shapes? In an action packed adventure that features both human and dragon sports, you'll get a dragon-like perspective on human social issues and insight into what to do if you meet a giant spider grinning at you when you're wearing nothing but your smile! You'd be flamin' mad to miss it.
From page 56 of Bentwhistle the Dragon in a Threat from the Past:
"Before you take another step, child, you can take that thing off," the dragon boomed, pointing at Peter's body. "We do not tolerate those in this shop, EVER!"
Peter stood fixed to the spot, lost for words.  The dragon just continued what he was doing below the counter.  It might have been reading or writing; he was too far away to tell.  Peter quickly considered his options.  After a few seconds he realized that the only real choice he had was to take off his clothes.
