Kelly McClellan has had thirty years to learn how to brag about herself. She has shown no improvement thus far and is more comfortable pointing out her flaws.
She has too many pets because she is a sucker. She was so indecisive about her future that she graduated with an English, Aviation Science, Criminal Justice, and General Studies degree. In the end, she ended up in government.She thinks refrigerated food has a specific, unsavory flavor, so she isn't someone to send leftovers with. She thinks giving food is a way to comfort sad people because she has the emotional intelligence of a piece of wood. Despite being a socially awkward hermit, she lucked into a beautiful, patient wife. Her parents are her biggest supporters, even though she always forgets to call.All in all, Kelly McClellan is a very ordinary human. Her writing isn't half-bad, though, so give it a try.
The town of Oakspur is recovering from a mass kidnapping of four local youths. Just when emotional healing is on the horizon, a new family moves into town, and their kids look exactly like the missing. A group of middle schoolers search for answers.
When the Bilbrey family moves to a new house on the edge of a State Forest, seven-year-old Mint claims she’s seen a dragon girl in the trees—a shape-shifting girl with orange eyes and an appetite for art teachers.
Years later, her brother is missing, and the mysterious figure on the cobblestone path is the only one who can help her. The Bilbreys find themselves tangled in a story of grief, monsters, and magic far older than they imagined.
And the dragon is waiting.
