Hannah, Zachary, and little Sarah Emily have to spend the summer on their Aunt's island while their mother is writing a book. Aunt Mehitabel sends them a little old-fashioned, curlicued-handled key to unlock the Tower Room at the top of the house. They find a beautiful wooden box whose lid is really an intricate puzzle. Hidden inside is a special clue about the island.

Using the map, they find the tridrake, a three-headed dragon, in the cave at the top of Drake's Hill. Fafnyr Goldenwings has a special story to tell each of them, but they must promise to keep Fafnyr a secret.

A wonderful whiff of the magic of long, endless summers when there was time to dream and explore.

This new book is written in that wonderfully timeless style that lets you believed you MUST have loved it as a child. Three children discover a three headed dragon when they vacation on a small island owned by their great aunt. The dragons heads each tell a tale in which other children learned - or taught - life lessons. The children in this tale, as well as those in the stories within it, develop special Friendships with this "Tri-Drake." Though there are morals to the tales (don't take what isn't yours; use your head; trust your own wisdom; help others when you can), you don't notice them as you read, and your kids will absorb them unwittingly.

This is a book about about a three kids that go to thir aunt's castle and they go into the tower room and find a box that has a map and a dragon scale and they meet a dragon named Fafnyr Goldenwings and the dragon is three headed, each head tells a story to tell and each story has a lesson. Every single person that reads this review should get this book. It is wonderful, and enjoying, exciting and the best book that I ever read!

I have to say this book is quite interesting! This book is about a 3-headed dragon and the three kids who visit Lonely Island. The dragons are NOT in any way blood-sucking or in other words they don't feast on humans. The dragons tell tales to the 3 children and they each have a moral from which each child benefits off of. I have read a lot of books with dragons in them, from Harry Potter to Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher, but this is dragon life from a point of view that most people wish for dragons to be like.

Not a slow or dull page in this childen's adventure book about these 3 dragons in one! My 9yr old, reluctant to read fiction was so captivated, he read it three times in a row.

This book tells the story of Sarah Emily, Hannah, and Zachary and their adventures on Lonely Island where they meet the Tri-Drake who introduces them through stories to Mei-Lan, a girl in ancient china, Hitty and Will, a brother and sister whose plane crashes on a deserted island, and Jamie, the kitchen boy on an old pirate ship during the nineteenth century. It is a very wonderful book, but some of the descriptions are vague and written for a younger audience. I would reccomend this book for readers ages: 5-12.

This is about some children who stumble upon a tri-drake and listen to stories by each of its three heads. My son read this a few years ago (I think when he was 6...)and read it over and over and over and over! I read it with him sometimes and thought it was not bad - good book with some lessons thrown in. Plus - there's a DRAGON in it!

This book is mainly about a group of kids that found a dragon and every time they went to see the dragon they got told a stroy. Well I thought thats somehow the writer should have put more action in. The plot was OK but kinda boring. But what happenes in the story is three stories and there is no main story line. I dunno just my opinion is that i don't really like it.

The three Davis children Have to go to lonely island. Where thay find a cave and they find a great big dragon! They visit the dragon alot. Each time they meet a new dragon. It is a three headed dragon and each time they go to the cave they meet a new head and each head tells them a story. I give this 5 stars because I love dragons and the writer did a good job of writing this story. I love this book and I hope you will to.
