A little preview

At the valley market, a small dragon named Brindle flapped down, cheeks puffed like warm bread. The townspeople whispered—Brindle was here for the annual Dragon's Dentist Day, a gentle fair where dragons and people learned to keep mouths comfy. Alex stood near a stall of paper crowns, watching Brindle nuzzle a huge pear and then sigh. A tiny pebble seemed stuck between two of Brindle's shiny teeth. Brindle pressed a claw to its jaw and looked worried, but also brave.
