When the Graves family goes camping to mysterious Lake Bleakmire, so doall their ghoulish sidekicks--bats, spiders, and even their Venus Flytrap. Yet nothing can prepare them for their latest sidekick: a fire-breathing dragon, who eats the Graves family's irresistible Jum Jills and then follows them home like a stray kitten. How do they get rid of the dragon, especially after the giant beast accidentally soaks all the town's fireworks just before the big 4th of July celebration? The explosive solution is pure fun. Patricia Polacco is at her wildest, funniest, and creepiest in this all-new Graves family adventure.
If you've read several of Patricia Polacco's books before, you might think this book would be along the same lines as her other books. You're in for a surprise. This is an awesome book, filled with great illustrations and a great story. It is a great book to read around halloween, but it could also be used in thematic units dealing with family, or being greedy or rude. I laughed out loud several times while reading this book, and I know you will too.
Great sequel

Another fun Polacco book. The sequel to the Graves Family. Teaching kids that different is great. Wonderful fantasy unit read aloud.
