Genies and fairies and dragons- oh, my...How do you know when somebody pushes "play" on a paused apocalypse? A dragon over the Kansas Flint Hills might be a clue.Friday Jones knows she isn't quite normal-but then, freaks are only freakish when they're trying to blend in. Until her sixteenth summer, she was perfectly happy kicking her Doc Martens back with a generic Sunny D at her sister's bar in rural Miramar. At least she doesn't stand out too badly, there.When she totals her Harley on the way home from school-thanks to a cruising dragon-a new world opens up like a Butler County sinkhole. Don't blame fracking, this time. Blame the hottie motorcycle mechanic who introduces her to Salazar Ranch, a camp for wayward teens. They're wayward, all right: way weird.She's sucked into a magical, centuries-old conflict but apocalypse will have to wait. First, she needs remedial wizardry lessons and a shadowself. Oh, yeah-and a dragon....Eat your heart out, Dorothy.(Down's Dragon is the first of a satellite trilogy for the Straight Path series set in modern-day Kansas and based peripherally on the perennial characters and alleged prophecies that first unfold in Book of Breathings.)
