Dragon Racer cover

In Dragon Racer, Vern faces his biggest challenge yet, proving his skills on the racetrack and helping a young fan in need.

In Dragon Racer, we follow Vern, a determined dragon who is preparing for the biggest race of his life. Joined by his friends Truff, Claude, and Stanley, Vern has been tirelessly training to improve his skills on the track. Despite his dedication, he has never won the race before, and the teasing from other racers only adds to the pressure. This year, however, Vern is determined to prove that he has what it takes to be a champion. With the support of his friends, he learns that success is not just about speed, but also about confidence and perseverance.

As the race unfolds, Vern faces unexpected challenges that test his abilities both on and off the track. After the excitement of the race, a young fan falls seriously ill, and the only racer equipped with the skills to help is Vern. With time running out, he must rely on Truff's assistance to navigate through the obstacles and reach the doctor in time. This urgent mission forces Vern to confront his fears and showcase his true potential.

Dragon Racer is more than just a thrilling race; it is a heartwarming story about friendship, teamwork, and the importance of believing in oneself. Readers will be captivated by the vibrant illustrations and the engaging narrative that highlights the value of determination and camaraderie in overcoming life's hurdles.
