The lakes on the Mountain of Forgotten Dreams once danced with fish covered in golden scales. A single sip from the Mountain’s silver streams would keep you young forever. But the people who lived in the Mountain’s shadow were so afraid its magic would be discovered, and shared, and taken from them, that they kept it secret. They kept it so secret that, eventually, even they forgot.They forgot how to find the lakes that fed them, and the streams that kept them young. They spent their days, and their years, working, growing old and responsible and mature, until they forgot not just the magic of the Mountain, but the magic of childhood itself.One day, two children—Julien and Sara—decide that the wonders of the world are still alive, if only you have the power to believe. They climb to the top of the Mountain of Forgotten Dreams—a journey filled with mystery, danger and delight—where they discover the true power of imagination. By the time of their descent on the wings of a ruby-eyed dragon, the children have learned that life is not about the forgetting of dreams, nor even about the remembering. It is about the living.
