<p>Armed with an old bucket and a ruler, the brave knight Sir Kyle girds his loins and prepares to defend his new neighbor, the fair maiden Madeline, from the dreaded dragon inhabiting a tree in his backyard. But Kyle's quest goes awry in the most humorous and delightful of ways when Lady Madeline demonstrates she's far more interested in chivarly than in dragon-hunting. Madeline's determination proves her downfall in an unexpected climax that will keep young readers giggling and encourage their imaginations to continue the story. The stunning and unusual artwork progresses from sketcy to concrete, as does the dragon in a tale that takes the reader on a journey from an ordinary afternoon to a land of make-believe and back again.</p>

<p>The startling design of this genre-straddling book acts as a virtual time machine, carrying the narrative back and forth between the alien landscape of 1958 Burma, presented in real letters and period photographs, and a haunting vision of a future North American a century later. In 2047, Sixteen-year-old Zeyya lives in the strictly governed and not-so-distant future of the Greater East Coast Metropolis. As she pursues her musical aspirations in an increasingly dangerous world, fears of the yellow tape, that marks a dwelling as Quarantined, slip into her dreams. When the nightmare becomes reality and her parents are locked away, Zeyya takes sanctuary with her ninety-eight-year old grandmother. Zeyya's Granna, who takes solace in her childhood memories of Burma in the 1950's, lives in a solitary house in the midst of a city of bleak towers. It is not wonder that the enigmatic Jonah, who displays an imperviousness to the climate and an uncanny communication with canines, creates an atmosphere of tension that is only eased by Granna's reminiscences about her childhood in Burma. Soon, the exotic Burma and the equally exotic Jonah find places in Zeyya's heart as she learns how to both love and trust in a world gone mad.</p>
