The Dragons of Missing Lake Tanya Fyfe

Luke Houser sometimes thinks he just wants to be a normal fifteen year-old. He knows that running sled dogs with his father and having an enormous crimson dragon named Tabitha for a friend make that challenging. Tabitha has some surprises for Luke when she announces her upcoming plans for him. Plans he isn't so sure he wants to be a part of. Luke and his stepmother, Jackie continue to try to keep Tabitha's existence a secret from Luke's father and all of his classmates but it becomes difficult as the winter progresses in the tiny community of Missing Lake. Luke must try to find some sort of balance in his life with challenges coming at him from every direction. Luke's friends play a larger role in his life as they become closer and get to know one another as young adults. He is sometimes torn between the world of his friendships and the world of dragons, not to mention the sled dog and mushing world. Join Luke as he ventures further into adolescence with his Sharing sessions in English class, his attempts at basketball, his joy on the back of the sled and his amazement and confusion about his seemingly-adult responsibilities. This sequel to Lost and Found in Missing Lake takes place once again in the middle of nowhere in rural Montana at the Houser's ranch, the high school and Jackie's veterinary clinic as well as in Luke's mind.
