It is November. When Meg comes home from school, Charles Wallace tells her he saw dragons in the twin's vegetable garden. That night Meg, Calvin and C.W. go to the vegetable garden to meet the Teacher (Blajeny) who explains that what they are seeing isn't a dragon at all, but a cherubim named Proginoskes. It turns out that C.W. is ill and that Blajeny and Proginoskes are there to make him well - by making him well, they will keep the balance of the universe in check and save it from the evil Echthros.

Meg, Calvin and Mr. Jenkins (grade school principal) must travel inside C.W. to have this battle and save Charles' life as well as the balance of the universe.

Sophia ★★★★★

My eleven-year-old tore through this one in two days, and I loved that the November setting and the vegetable garden mystery pulled her straight into the story. Charles Wallace's dragon sighting from the description is exactly the kind of hook that keeps a kid asking for one more chapter before bed.

Natalie S. ★★★★★

The vegetable garden scene with the dragons pulled me right in—my kid was on the edge of the bed by page ten. Charles Wallace's dialogue feels so spot-on for his character, and the pacing makes it perfect for reading aloud before bed.

Ellie ★★★★★

I bought this for my 10-year-old and the dragon-in-the-garden opening hooked her immediately—we had to read the first two chapters together that night. The Teacher character is genuinely mysterious and keeps the story moving fast.
