A magical tale has been unearthed, / Etched by an ancient hand, / Of three strange dragons newly birthed / In a long-ago, faraway land.Considered misfits from the cave, / Their habits seem all wrong. / And then there's Mindel, wise and brave, / Whose Jewish faith is strong,Whose castle halls are far too drafty / To keep Sabbath candles lit, / With guards asleep and villains crafty / Defacing sacred writ.Her parents fear they cannot stay, / But Mindel begs for time. / She vows that she will find a way / And even solve the crime.But nothing is the way it seems / When she begins her quest, / For dragons with undragon-like dreams / Have lately left the nest?With lush medieval illustration / And words that might be sung, / A story of determination / For readers old and young;A story that suggests we ask / If misfits even exist, / Or does everyone have a special task / That cannot be dismissed?Does Mindel overcome her fear? / Can the dragons find their place? / Come home to Castle Draconmere / Where magic runs apace?
