On his way to his morning wee Shoes discovers a baby dragon in the upstairs bathtub. As this is not a dragon's natural habitat he decides to try and return it to its home - the only problem is he has no idea where a baby dragon lives. Besides with its parents of course. Taking the trolly into the city Shoes ends up crossing paths with a troll of sophistication, lending a helping hand to the daughters of Anansi and finally stumbling upon a taxonomist who is not what he seems. Eventually Shoes ends up in a realm that may have the answers to what he's looking for - unfortunately the realm itself is full of perils with a slightly mad monarch who has been kidnapping magical creatures from all over to use for nefarious purposes.
