Description
About the Book
"The Quest Kids are ready for their first real quest. This time, they won't oversleep, they won't be put off by a little rain, and they won't accidentally burn down the village that hired them. All they have to do is find the Golden-Fleeced Rage Beast, shave it, and make a really nice golden tracksuit to appease a furious dragon. Simple, right? Meet the Quest Kids crew: Gil, a wizard (well, wizard in training . . . the beard isn't his); Terra, a 700-year-old elf kid; Boulder, a rock troll who is more of a cook than a fighter; Ash, a flatulent pig-dog-maybe-lizard hybrid; and, Ned, the intrepid and overly optimistic leader with his own personal quest to find his missing parents. With humor, magic, mystery, and at least one acid swamp filled with skeletal alligators, Quest Kids and the Dragon Pants of Gold is a richly illustrated saga of fantasy friendship for readers from all kingdoms!" --provided by publisher.Book Synopsis

A rip-roaring good time." -- Kirkus Reviews "Begin with a wizard, add a 100-year-old elf, a rock troll named Boulder who loves to cook, and a pig-dog-maybe-lizard. Give them a brave leader and you've got the Quest Kids . . . . Lively format." --Twin Cities Pioneer Press
