Description

There's an enslaved dragon on Wild Island, and young Elmer Elevator is determined to free him--despite hungry tigers, cranky crocodiles, and other challenges.

A young boy runs away from home to rescue an abused baby dragon held captive to serve as a free twenty-four hour, seven-days-a-week ferry for the lazy wild animals living on Wild Island.
