There once was a dragon who created the world. He was mighty, benevolent, and kind. Known as the Divine Dragon, he created others in his image. These were known as the Clan dragons, each in charge of helping the world prosper and flourish. They lived in harmony with the other races of the world – that is, until one dragon grew jealous of the Divine’s power. Now the Age of Dragons is over. The dragons have disappeared, their power sealed away in crystals known as Dragon Eyes. Thought lost, the Crimson Dragon’s Eye has reemerged, choosing a man with a mysterious fire mark to become the bearer of the power of the Crimson Dragons.With the help of Rhinehart and the mysterious dual-elf, Elania, the Crimson Dragons are but the first to rise again.

How could someone like Mick die? He was the kid who freaked out his mom by putting a ceramic eye in a defrosted chicken, the kid who did a wild dance in front of the whole school--and the kid who, if only he had worn his bicycle helmet, would still be alive today. But now Phoebe Harte's twelve-year-old brother is gone, and Phoebe's world has turned upside down. With her trademark candor and compassion, beloved middle-grade writer Barbara Park tells how Phoebe copes with her painful loss in this story filled with sadness, humor--and hope. Chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of their Best Books of 1996.
