Knights, Pancakes & Dragons

Tommy Buttertin is different from the other kids in Griddle-earth. He does not talk. He might not look you in the eyes, and he relies on structure and routine to get through the day. But like his brother and most other kids, he'll do almost anything for a tall stack of pancakes smothered in sweet, gooey syrup.

Tommy and his brother share a dream: to become knights, just like their father. When King Greasworth invites Chris to begin training for knighthood, the brothers are overjoyed, until the king tells them that Tommy will never be strong enough to be a knight. Chris knows that Tommy is just as capable and brave as any knight could be, he just needs a chance to prove it to himself and to everyone else.

Tommy's chance comes more quickly than expected when their city, Stove's Landing, is threatened by an Ice Dragon. With the rest of Stove's Landing encased in ice, Tommy, with the help of I-doll and Chris, must travel to the edge of Griddle-earth, slay the Icy Beast, save the kingdom, and prove himself once and for all.
