A sport loving boy and his pet dragon........

 

Nine-year-old Niles has two awesome secrets. One—he's crazy about sports and loves trying every single one. Two—his best friend is a real live dragon named Bradford who can breathe fire and eat a peanut butter (no jelly) sandwich in one bite!

When Niles moves to a new town, he knows sports will help him make friends—and Bradford will always have his back.

 

Then, during a big basketball game, everything goes wrong—and Niles starts to wonder if he's really cut out for sports at all.
