Pete's Dragon

by Longford

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE Little Petey Randall had already learned that life wasn't like the fairy tales his mommy told him. He knew his dad wasn't around much anymore, and sometimes Mommy looked so sad. Thank goodness for his new friend, the dragon, who lived next door in the garden. Mommy said dragons were only make-believe, but Petey knew better. Hannah Randall wasn't too sure about the scaly, fire-breathing variety, but she knew a dragon of a man lived next door. Sam Dennehy was distant at the best of times, crabby at the worst. But every time Hannah looked deep into his eyes, she knew Sam was no dragon . . . he was a man in need of love, a man who could steal her heart.
